This, IMHO, is an unanswerable question.  If you're running inventory control 
with 100 transactions a day, a 150 would be fine -- probably fine for Y2K 
testing of a larger system as well.  However, nobody buying a new version of 
BPCS is running V3R7M0, nor are they running just INV.  DASD and memory 
requirements are going to vary by your transaction volume, whether or not 
you're doing development on the box, and how many modules are being run.  
Most of my clients have quad processor 530's or 640's, and are considering 
7xx upgrades.  Then again, these clients have 2-300 concurrent users and a 
huge transaction volume -- should I recommend this configuration to everyone? 
 No.  Would I use it for Y2K testing?  No, we've used everything from a 150 
to a 50S for this sort of thing.  I just don't see how a minimum 
configuration could be specified...
