Our supplier recommended refurbished 9001 or 9006 to get the best
bang for the buck. Would you agree with that?

Could someone kindly clue me in about the 32bit vs 64bit platform
„issue“ if there is one? I would not want to invest into a platform
with EOL already on the horizon. Those 6500 have been running way
too long.

Pointers of course welcome.

Thanks in advance,
Patrick
