Agreed, just because a machine is "worthless" to the bean counters doesn't it make it so in reality. I would look on the warranty side of things for critical servers. If I can no longer get 4 hour on site service, 7 days a week I can't use a machine for critical functions but it may be perfectly useful for a host of other functions even if it was spec'ed right and can still perform the function it was purchased for.

That is totally different than your previous sentence. My quad IBM Pentium Pro 1GB RAM is almost 5 years old. There is no need to replace it. Clearly if your hardware is falling short, then that needs to be documented to justify the need. Storage issues? Throughput issues? Processor cramps? Memory maxed? Perfmon logs can help here. But you know that.
