Re: IBM i Access for Web vs IBM Navigator for i

Yup!.

Seriously bumping that machine to 100% capacity for memory will be somewhere in the couple hundred dollar range. IBM i can run on that but really needs more like four. A new small 720 (4 way, only license one core) transferring your software over is going to pay for itself in maintenance, and aggravation many times over. You really need to consider it.

We have a System i 520 with 2gb memory. I would use the web navigator more
often, but it is horrifically slow. When I click "Log in" it is literally
45-60 seconds until it comes up. Is that because we only have 2gb memory?
