Hi.

I see 2 ways for your uppgrade.

1. You can buy a remarked 987 uppgrade. HP is seling this upgrade
   in Europe and I think that you can buy it in US also.
   I Just had a customer that did that upgrade and he had about
   3 times the performance. He added 128MB memory as well.

2. Upgrade to a new mashine. I would surgest a 9x9KS . For exaple a
   969KS/120 will give you 4 times rel performance.
