5 <br /> upgrades. Memory prices are quite reasonable at this time. <br /> The ITAC recommends a three year replacement cycle to get all users to a base level <br /> quickly and accommodate necessary software upgrades. The short term plan will include <br /> replacement of 120 PCs in the remaining fiscal year, and the second year of the SAP, in <br /> fiscal 98-99,will include replacement of another 120 systems. Currently about 60 <br /> Pentium PCs, bought two to three years ago, can be upgraded for base level users. This <br /> hardware upgrade is necessary to support the Windows 95 (or 98) and Microsoft Office <br /> upgrade. These upgraded current systems can be used until the third year of the upgrade <br /> cycle in fiscal year 1999-2000. The SAP can then be reassessed to evaluate the <br /> replacement cycle based on technology and market conditions at that time. The ITAC <br /> recommends installation of 120 replacement PCs in the current short term plan and <br /> upgrade of existing Pentium systems, followed by replacement of 120 PCs in the second <br /> year of the SAP. <br />
