And if the motherboard won't handle more than that?

It isn't an easy thing to get a new machine JUST to run the follow-on for
Code, when Code runs great on the machine I have.  We won't be using any of
the webby things about WDSc.  No Java.  No WebFacing.  No HTML.  Just Code
and Designer.  Green screen stuff.  Eclipse is Way Over The Top for this
functionality.

Code V5R1M0 (the old one) is based on Lpex.  The new editor in V4.0 and 5.0
is based on a Java version of Lpex if I understand it rightly.  The new
jLpex does not have the same level of function as the old Lpex/Code, so for
the interim, IBM are including Code as a backup posture for people who
aren't happy enough with jLpex yet.
