第5题：

A customer has an 8-way p650 running an application for about 200 users.  In the past， the requiredamount of memory and processors has increased proportionally to the number of new users.  The customer plans to increase users by 10% each year for the next three years.  Next year， a database will be added to the workload to support the users directly rather than being on a separate machine. What is the most likely result of this projected growth？（）

• A、Disk usage will increase in proportion to memory.
• B、The new database will demand much more memory.
• C、Memory demand will increase 10% for the next year.
• D、Processor demand will increase about 10% for the next year.
