I'd say it depends what you want to do with it, but yes, upgrade. The machine's
very fast and as of yet I have yet to find a bug with it (other than I have
about four games that require me to boot under 1.3 rather than 2.0, but that's
more annoying than anything else).

SuperBase Pro 4 is the only program which doesnt seem to work correctly. Some
games tend to run really fast, but that would happen on a 2500 too. The 
graphics enhancer works great, and the machine will be phenomenal with an
'040 in it (I'm saving my pennies right now). All of my old hardware works
great, and I can honestly say I'm impressed with the machine.
