Well I was running 6.0.34 under 3.2.4.2 on a 486/33 with 48Mb RAM 500 Mb disk. Updgraded to 7.0.6 couldn't run everything I needed, am now upgrading to 7.1.6 under Open Desktop 3.0. Replaced the drive with a 2Gb drive. SCO ODT recommends 100Mb disk, 12Mb RAM. I should start testing next week and I'll have a better idea on how performance suffered then.
