Re: want to upgrade to newer system recommentdations

I would look for a 515 or 525 on the used market.

Both can run 7.1 and both are quite fast compared to
what you are coming from.

The 515 is limited in expansion while the 525 can get quite large.

IBM sells used machines. Both of the above can be had for
little money.
