Yup!.

Seriously bumping that machine to 100% capacity for memory will be
somewhere in the couple hundred dollar range. IBM i can run on that but
really needs more like four. A new small 720 (4 way, only license one
core) transferring your software over is going to pay for itself in
maintenance, and aggravation many times over. You really need to
consider it.

We have a System i 520 with 2gb memory. I would use the web navigator

more

often, but it is horrifically slow. When I click "Log in" it is

literally

45-60 seconds until it comes up. Is that because we only have 2gb

memory?

The web interface is a great improvement. I think IBM should put all

team to improve it, leaving the old navegator alone. I'm sure userd
will go to the web without need to be forced, like happened between

the

green screen and the graphical but prone to problems and hard to

support

navegator.

There

are already things popping up in the web console that are not

supported in

any other way. A customer of mine recently pointed out a new option

in the

Advanced Job Scheduler that only exists in the web console version.

those who know me well, I'll admit that the fantasy here is me

fixing a

system problem, not visiting Paris.
