Bob,

The more the better!  I just attended a conference in Orlando on HP
performance and they gave a formula chart on how to determine memory
requirements:

MPEix  Operating System    37MB
Network Software                18MB
Number of concurrent users  X 5MB
Job Limit                             X 8MB
Total Disk Space                 X 1%
(1GB = 1,024MB)

Example Using the Formula:

MPEix  Operating System    37MB
Network Software                18MB
85 users  X 5MB                 425MB
7  X  8MB  Job Limit            56MB
24 GB Disk Space X 1%    246MB
(1GB = 1,024MB)
Total Optimal Main Memory Configuration = 782MB

Hope this helps...
