We have a handful of old PIII 450's with about a half-gig of RAM still up and running (thanks, Y2K grants!)...it sounds like it would be a mistake to upgrade to 7.81 with them. True? Would 7.80 work ok, and would we be able to get it from Blackbaud? We would truly like to have the credit card number encryption.

(How everyone affords to replace more than a couple of machines a year is another question for another thread, but I'm open to ideas!)

7.80 would probably run fine. We have several PIII/512 machines that have no issues.

Blackbaud just sent me a 7.80 install with the latest patch for a test server I'm building (we're not ready for 7.81 either). If you plead your case you should be able to get it.

We only replace three machines a year and my "test server" is actually just a juiced up workstation from our last rotation. But it's better than nuttin', honey!
