My current client has a 937 and a 947. They have decided to stick with the
3000 for awhile longer, but need more horsepower. Their thought is to dump
the 937 and get a "987". This is the part where I'm confused.

Does HP still sell 987's new, or would this have to be purchased
remanufactured, or from a third-party vendor? (I checked the info on Jazz;
it looks like the 987's are no longer available from HP.)

Is this even a wise choice at this point? Would a 9x8 box (or later) be a
"better" choice?

As PowerHouse 7.x is the primary development environment, would it be best
to approach Cognos first to see how much box we can afford?

TIA for your wisdom and experience!
