Re: Performance tuning

Okay fill us in why would you try and inane thing like that on only 128MB RAM. NT would be barely running on that without getting your instance up. I am not that good yet at calculating what amount of RAM you need for a given SGA but I am thinking that you are running in swap

What is the disk configuration.

Are you running RAID and if so what configuration. (Not RAID 5 I hope)

Can you get this system up to 512MB at least.

With this and a whole lot more you will get some better answers
