Re: How much Gas does PC/400 need?

[Randy Mangham <randy.mangham@xxxxxxxx>]

The difference between a 64 Meg machine and a 256 Meg machine is about $190
(based on Dell pricing, possible less elsewhere). Is that amount of money
amortized over 3 years (or more) for the small number of users needing access to
OpsNav really going to make a huge difference to the bottom line??
