Hi Greg and Gary :)
        One of the best ways to answer this question is check with other
sites running the software.  This allows you to find out what each system
does when under an actual production load.    If there is a Users Group
available get with them.

Greg: Check the memory requirements for your application. If I remember,
the 9x7 can only handle 384 megs of memory. The 928 will 512. If you
plan on running these systems at anywhere near the 64 user limit, I'd
opt for the 928. The 'rule' I've been using configure systems suggests
5 megs per user. On the 9x7 you will already be at that limit without
allowing for disk cache, OS/Networking, etc. You be especially disappointed
if you intend to do any SQL work on the box. SQL places event an even
greater demand on memory.
