>In my experience, this is not true. Because of the rapid drop in CPU prices, there is a great incentive to add only when needed. If one is enough and you won't need the second for a year, why not wait and get it when the prices are less (both due to inflation and price drops). Memory is the same way and so is disk. Time and time again, this has proven to be the best course, especially now given the tight IT budgets and spending restrictions.< In a workstation this might make sense. In a server it would make more sense to fully populate with slower CPUs initially, and upgrade their speed later. For example, instead of purchasing two 700 MHz Xeon processors, purchase two 500 MHz Xeon processor, and upgrade to two 700 MHz Xeon processors later.
