So I see from the sales page that if I were a new customer, I could get into a dual core with 2GB for $170/month...but I don't see CPU upgrades as an option in the server upgrades section.

Given that I've been a dedi customer for over a year, it's apparent that the little old Celeron box that I'm running is now seriously obsolete.

This raises a very interesting question: is there an opportunity for me to upgrade with a package comparable to a new subscriber? My server config would cost about half of what I'm paying right now, if I were to sign up today...but I also understand that existing customers seldom get the same level of enticement.

How about some guidance here? What would you recommend? It's obviously disenchanting to see that my server only costs $70/mo. for new subscribers, and I clearly need to upgrade..

Thanks for the help, guys.
