Re: [WDSCI-L] Requirements to run Websphere Client

Hi Rob,

IMHO I think that you will find more memory (and a faster disk?) helps 
your performance more than more speed.  But, if my manager was asking what 
I wanted I'd say a way faster machine and buckets of memory :-)

[WDSCI-L] Requirements to run Websphere Client






I was wondering if anyone out there could suggest a configuration to run
Websphere Client.

I currently have a IBM laptop P4 1.6 GHZ machine with 768MB  right now and
it takes 20 seconds to rename a java field in the Visual Editor , 30 
seconds
to start the Websphere Test Environment.  It is not speedy. (Perhaps I am 
to
used to native RPG programming and Visual Basic Programming?)

Our company is getting new laptops. People in our company are getting new
IBM laptop Centrino 1.7 GHZ machines with 1 GB of memory, so I had an
opportunity to test with a fresh one. I loaded up websphere and a couple 
of
our small apps and now it takes 12 seconds to rename a field and 21 
seconds
to start Websphere test environment. 40% improvement.

We do java application, JSP, servlet programs testing in the Websphere 
test
environment.

I suggested that we instead see if we can get an IBM G40 which has a 
pentium
4 at 3.0 GHZ with max 1 GB memory possible  -or- see if an additional 1GB 
of
memory would help the Centrino based machine.

Is there anyone out there with a good PC configuration where there is 
little
waiting writing Java Apps and WebApps. Or is Websphere Client just slow!

I am looking for suggestions guys!

Thanks everyone
