Our system currently runs SR9.7, but we would like to upgrade to SR10.
However, HP/Apollo in Sweden has recommended that DN3000 nodes with 4
Mbyte of memory should be upgraded to 8 Mbyte.

How important is it to have 8 Mbyte per node? Most of our work consists
of text editing, Unix-style file manipulation, DSEE operations, and
DPCC sessions.

We also have a few DN300 and DSP80 nodes with just 2 Mbyte, doing
things like wbak and rnews. How will they perform under SR10 if we
insist on using them with 2 Mbyte?
