I see. Start with a day's worth and work it from there.

Granted, this is not the world's fastest box, but it is a PII 350 with 256
megs of RAM and an Ultra DMA (33) disk. Would this be considered a
"lightweight" for 1500 MBRs?

It sounds like Emerald would just love to have a gig of RAM and 2 or 3
500MHz CPUs to chomp on as well as a SCSI array of some sort. However, I
think that I might have some trouble convincing the boss to splurge. If we
need to upgrade, can you make some recommendations about hardware (i.e., how
much RAM, CPU, etc.)? We're willing to give the thing some more horsepower
if it needs it, but we don't want to invest more than we have to.
