[about an earlier question regarding pedestal changes with new cpu
upgrades]

|I'm with you on this.  If all you want is more CPU power, I don't see any

If you ask your sales rep you can find out the details of Sun upgrades.
In the case of the 3/160 pedestal I believe the cpu upgrade requires more
power, more cooling or both.
