Good morning. I've just started with a company as Dir of Mktg and Sales and am doing an office computer assessment. We have 10, in use, Deskpro SFF PII 450Mhz 2.0gig 64MB machines that I'm interested in RAM and HD space upgrades in order extend life another 12 months as we continue with one new machine purchase per quarter.

Each machine has ~600MB free space remaining. All have NT4.0. Staff are not heavy users or saavy - primary apps are Outlook, Excel, IE, Adobe, Word, and a proprietary thick-client app used for scheduling and billing.

I'm familar with NT 4.0 and it's instability in memory upgrades on older platforms. I'd like to upgrade RAM and free up HD space. Please provide me with any recommendations. Thanks in advance.
