What sort of hardware and software are in the machine?  If it's all PCI cards then you can probably swap it out if the software isn't programmed to be too specific.
We've had really good luck upgrading our Nikon scope.  We have an old C1 that we upgraded to a current model Dell workstation with surprisingly little difficulty.
Of course now that I've said that it may explode, but I'll keep my fingers crossed.  @:-)

Hello, All,

 

I'm afraid I already know the answer to my question, but...hope against hope - has anyone succeeded in upgrading his/her computer driving an MRC-1024 to something better than a Dell PowerEdge 2300??

 

Thanks for any suggestions,

 

George
