Tony,

        There are many variables that go into how much memory you need, such as how
many sessions, how many batch jobs (usually) running, how much disk space,
features of Ecometry used (including versions), etc.  Really the only way to
know for sure is to evaluate your environment over all.  The other approach
is "How much memory can you afford?"  That is how much you should have.  It
is rare that more memory will hurt.  The real trick is when do you hit the
diminished returns point.

Subject: UPGRADE TO 6.5


We have a HP3000 939KS and 979KS100, The 939KS (DEV BOX) has .5 GB memory
and the 979KS100 (PROD BOX)  has 1.5 GB Memory. The application we are
running is Ecometry. We need to Upgrade our System, currently 6.0 to 6.5,
Our System is very reliable, only downtime we have, routine maint (KNOCK ON
WOOD). I read in Newsletters & other sources, to UPGRADE to 6.5, it's
recommended the both Systems should have 3.75GB Memory. Does anyone have any
feed back on this issue. Thanks.
