3.6) What is the upgrade process for PostgreSQL?
See http://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning.
+
+ 3.7) What computer hardware should I use?
+
+ Because PC hardware is mostly compatible, people tend to believe that
+ all PC hardware is of equal quality. It is not. ECC RAM, SCSI, and
+ quality motherboards are more reliable and have better performance
+ than less expensive hardware. PostgreSQL will run on almost any
+ hardware, but if reliability and performance are important it is wise
+ to research your hardware options thoroughly. Our email lists can be
+ used to discuss hardware options and tradeoffs.
