I mispoke ;}
When I said "Doesn't take much more memory" I didn't take into account the user multiplier, ie: each process takes about 1 Meg more, then 30 users will take 30 Meg more. My Sco Unix box is a Dell 496 with 64 MB of memory and 64 MB of swap. All of a sudden the CPU spends 99.9% of it's time managing memory and paging. The Box can't go over 92 MB, so now I'm looking at a new computer, ie: Pentium 90 with 128 MB to start. Actually, 2, since we need a backup machine. The bill for hardware for the Oracle7 upgrade will run around $22,000. Ouch. At least I get to use the old machine(s) as my personal toys now. Received on Sun Sep 04 1994 - 18:00:00 CEST
