      Does anyone have any insight to the following problem?

      Two years ago, Apollo indicated that SR 10.0 would
      require a workstation with at least 4 MB of memory
      to maintain system performance.  We replace almost
      all of our DN320's with DN3000's and 4000's that
      have 4 MB.

      Today, Apollo reps are saying that minimum memory
      is 8 MB, to maintain system performance.

      Is this a sales ploy?  If not, what inherently is
      causing the problem?  Is this something that all
      UNIX-type workstations are experiencing?

      Thanks in advanced.
