How much Gas does PC/400 need?

from Al Mac

I have seen some posts regarding how much gas a PC needs to function without 
performance problems with the latest Client Access to OS/400 & am interested 
in whether other folks agree with what Ops News says.  When I showed the 
latest issue around the office, the reaction was that perhaps it would not be 
a good idea to upgrade our OS/400 because the amount of Meg needed for Ops 
Nav seems outrageous ... of course only a few people might need Ops Nav ie. 
myself eventually when they take me off twinax & the various power users who 
help less fortunate users - I call them system helpers, everyone else is 
moving to Client Access.

The most I can reasonably expect management to pay for is a 64 Meg PC.
In fact my boss says he has never heard of anyone having more than 128 Meg.
Does this mean that as we move from CA on V4R3 to CAX on V5R1 the users are 
going to be screaming about loss of performance?
