[comp.sys.hp] hpux 6.5 and memory

jv@mhres.mh.nl (Johan Vromans) (05/10/89)

I'm running HP-UX 6.2 and ARPA-services on a HP9000/320 with 3.5Mb
memory. I've been told that I need more memory when I want to upgrade
to HP-UX 6.5, because the system has grown.

Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Thanks in advance,

	Johan

Johan,

  According to the 6.5 Software Release Plan the RAM requirements for
6.5 remain the same as for 6.0 (zero).

  However with 6.5 the X11 windowing system is part of AXE and PE (and
Windows/9000 is also still included).

  If you did not use X before and are going to use it now then you will
most likely need more memory. Contact your account AE for details for
your specific situation.

  For completeness some numbers on *disk* sizes in Mbytes :

Product		6.2 size	6.5 size	6.5 without X11
-------		--------	--------	---------------
AXE		16.4		26.2		20.2
AXE + PE	42.0		57.5		48.4
SW Bundle	47.4		63.7		54.7
