Re: Out of Box Experience for Cheetah.

Wouldn't it be nice if the installer was smart enough to sniff out the machine info and suggest a reasonable list of configurations to choose from based on the machine size. That would be most useful for getting started right out of the box. ----- Original Message ---- From: Tool <tool@thetool.com> To: informix-list@iiug.org Sent: Friday, March 16, 2007 1:59:08 PM Subject: Re: Out of Box Experience for Cheetah.

I've got a beater Pentium III right now using 1CPU, 512MB RAM, 100GB of IDE drive space available, easy to chop up. His designation of sandbox would equal what I would call "tiny" compared to current stuff on the market. I've also got x86_64 AMD boxes too, running Linux and SATA drives. The other thing that starts to get rather sticky is, what are you refering to as a CPU when you start talking about DualCore and hyperthreading, both give the appearance of being 2 CPUs per physical CPU. Guess this is a little out of scope but interesting to consider for processor affinity, etc. _______________________________________________ Informix-list mailing list Informix-list@iiug.org http://www.iiug.org/mailman/listinfo/informix-list
