Not enough to mandate an upgrade. At most, I'd have to add some RAM.

Downtime is critically important. It is more acceptable to do things relatively
slowly than it is to risk not being able to do things at all for any period of

Sure, but performance is the very last of my concerns. My concern is getting
any new system to do everything that the old system does, and that would not be
easy--I'm not even sure that it would be possible.
