The system is quite slow, and hard to work with. I have been told that the reason is lack of memory. To get more memory we need to buy a new cpu. It is also recommended that we get a larger disk. With credits for return and such, the price still comes out to be near $13,000.00. My question is this. Since I can buy a whole new snake workstation for near the same price, does the PA platform support DCS? How about Valid? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Randy Scofield
