- Information on this varies depending on who you talk to. Right now, I
- believe that the 735 upgrade gives you the machine you would have if you
- bought the 735. I was talking to my sales rep. on Tuesday and he said the
- upgrade gave us the new SCSI ports. Of course, he also said it didn't come
- with extra memory. I think he was wrong on that point since others have told
- me they did get extra memory.
-
- It definately requires 9.0 and I was told the disks and memory can be reused.
