Re: V5R1 vs V4R5

[neilp@xxxxxxxxxxx]

CPW 114 Client/Server, 23 Interactive.
If he only has 64MB and a single 4.19GB disk you can forget about running
V5R1.  (I wouldn't care for V4R5 much either with only 64MB).
Maximum memory for the model is 832MB so it can be expanded.
For V5R1 you should install at least one additional disk, and bring the
memory up to 192MB or 256MB.
For V4R5 you should have a bare minimum of 128MB.

You need to dedicate a LAN adapter to the INS, and have a separate LAN
adapter for the 400 (OS/400) native use.

Is the price for V4R5 or V5R1 ?  It can't be both.

Hi All,

My neighbor is considering buying a small 170:

9406-170, #2160 processor, 64mb memory, 4.19gb disk, V4R5---$4950
Add #2866 Netfinity server with 100/10 ethernet--------- $1450

First, I seem to remember some warning about IBM no longer supporting
ethernet via the Netfinity server.

Second, I want to convince him that he should get V5R1, not V4R5.  Any
site
with good comparisons, or perhaps a V5R1 new features list?

Third, where can I find the CPW rating for this?  Or any model-processor
feature?

Fourth, is that a good price?

tia,
