I'm told that going with more than two CPUs may or may not help with
performance.

My experience has shown that more than a GB of memory is overkill.

Unless someone suggests otherwise, I'd probably go with two processors and
double the memory.  I'd even be tempted to leave the memory where it is and
see how it goes.  Unless you can't go to the money well more than once.
Then get four processors and up the memory to 1 GB.  I assume that your
system won't take a higher speed processor.  That would probably be an even
better option.  What about replacing the entire system?  Stuff is cheaper
now than it's been in years.

With automatic buffpoolsize adjustment, what is the maximum amount of memory
TSM will use?  The max used to be 131072.  Is that still true?
