Hmm, you say an installation guide.

Printed or online?

If printed, I have my doubt with your part: ``[...] with the cost of
disk space being so low''. This is dependent on a lot of factors and is
not guaranteed to stay that way (we all know the flexibility of the
market).

Perhaps a rewording towards the extent of:

``If the cost of buying disks is lower than buying memory then look into
this as a serious upgrade for your machine. This allow more flexibility
in the future with the MPC applications.''

But I do not know enough of the background to ensure my replacement text
is adequate for what you need it for, so caveat emptor.

HTH,
