I thought that r5 was coming out for the BCM400 platform. I can't seem to find an upgrade keycode part # so I was wondering if this is something real, will eventually be real in a short time, vaporware, or only a product of my wishful thinking & overactive imagination.

you replace the 400 BFT and MSC card with a 450 tray.
You replace the CIC base card with a new CIC to line up withe the 450 BFT.
You replace the Hard drive with a 450 hard drive.
upgrade keycode:
Basically you are left with the 400 chassis,power supply, fan, MBMs.
All the other components are replaced with 450 components.
Up
Reprogramme system from scratch.
Alot of down time to upgrade from 400 to 450.

I believe that the Data Migration tool that will help migrate from BCM 4.0 to BCM 5.0 will be released in December or early January. Should cut down the upgrade time by a bit.
With the upgrade kit, your BCM 200/400 is essentially the same as a BCM450 from a processing capacity perspective.
