Hello
 I'm considering a V/AT 2.4 upgrade,and wonder what true advantage there
is.What makes 2.4 better than 2.3 and is it worth the cost.

Any thoughts or advice will be a great help

2.4 supports larger processes.  I believe that 2.3 had a process limit
of 1 MB.  That was the deciding thing for me.
