Re: 9i download

Heard one my SA collegue saying that someone has successfully used PC RAM and something else (don't remember) sucessfully. (Now THAT is economical workaround).

suitable, it is a great machine, just don't plan on getting any upgrades cheap.  Memory and DVD are astronomical priced.256Mb would be better, but I believe you can run 9i on 128Mb.The blade is a nice machine, really nice for a workstation as it has USB and some newer features, but considerably smaller L1,L2 cache which makes it a bit slower for server type apps than say a U10.But it is still a great machine for the money, no questions there.Perfect for that task you mentioned.  But i would recommend getting 128Mb additional. "Walking

Paul and all others interested.  Ebay seems to be a great source for used sun boxes, I've also noticed at sun's site they have a new workstation for $999.  Now of course you'd probably need more ram but this setup looks like it can handle and run 9i, etc for testing purposes at home. Hardware guys out there could you determine if this is enough? Thanks. Ivan Rivera
