RE: OS versions and hardware

["Scott Cargill" <scargill@xxxxxxxxx>]

We have a 9406-170 that we run Domino on. I upgraded it to V5R3 and it runs
noticable slower, however Domino is a hog anyway and runs 30% CPU all the
time.  If I end the Domino server I don't notice any performance hit being
on V5R3 running other stuff though.

Here's a related question:

We have a 170-2291 with 832mb RAM and 35% free disk that we run JD
Edwards on and support about 10 users with it.  I was planning on
loading v5r3 on.  IBM lists r3 as being the last release that will be
supported on the 170.

I had someone tell me last week that if I load r3 on this small 170,
that it would "kill it", as in the performance would be horrible.

Has anyone else loaded r3 on a small 170?  How is the performance?

I'm trying to decide whether I should push for an upgrade to an i5
machine this year or hold off until after v5r4 is released.

Thanks,
