They are Dell 1550 for WEB server (IIS 5.0) and 2550 for Access 2000 (intend to upgrade to SQL Server) (they have a total of 4 boxes).
And I intend to recommend installing CF5 on a box that has most RAM and Access db on the box that has second most RAM.

>If the Existing RAM is ECC RAM, the upgrade will be around $450.00, but is just

>If they use Oracle DB, then the recommended RAM is 4 GB, minimum
