We are running 2 Alpha boxes a 4000/620 and a 2100 with 128mb cards. Of couse performance will always depend on factors such as database attribute settings ie. tablespaces, rollback segments,sga sizing but I think you'll find 128 plenty to work with. You performance bottleneck won't be memory make sure you have a sufficient number of disk spindles that's the real key to optimizing performance good disk load balancing. Good Luck the alpha boxes are great. Received on Wed Mar 20 1996 - 00:00:00 CET
