Hi Simon, you might want to check with HP or your third party software
vendors to see if upgrading CPU's will hike up your support costs. Adding
additional memory will not increase support costs.

You could add 3 more CPU's to your configuration, we sell the 979KS CPU's
for $450.00 each. As for the memory, the 979KS can hold up to 16 memory kits
and two memory carriers. We sell the memory and carrier as follows:

HP 512MB Memory kit (2 x 256MB dimms) $75.00 each
HP 256MB Memory kit (2 x 128MB dimms) $40.00 each
HP 16 dimm (8 kit) memory carrier $25.00

With the purchase, we offer installation assistance. All hardware is
warranted for 90-day and eligible for HP hardware maintenance. Feel free to
call or email if you have any questions or if you want to purchase anything.

Let me know if you also were interested in upgrading your disk drives. 

Thanks
Jesse
