RE: Websphere: a resource hog?

["Joe Pluta" <joepluta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dennis, I run plenty of WebSphere software on my machine, which is a 370CPW
model 270 (with 0CPW interactive).  I don't see why you would need 950CPW,
unless you are using WebSphere Advanced Edition.  You should not need the
Advanced Edition unless you require EJB support, and most applications do
not require EJBs.
