In my opinion, Sun is *not* very liberal about CPU upgrades, except
perhaps from one fundamentally different chip to another (eg 68020 -->
SPARC).

We have a 4/110 we bought 2 yrs ago that is slower than an SLC, but no
upgrade is offered. Our 4/60 from last yr is slower than the 4/65 now
offered, but no upgrade offered or planned.  Sun has released a 4/470, and
presumably will soon offer a similar 4/430, but no upgrade is offered from
the 4/330.
