Re: Advice needed for getting started

To be honest, to run v5.1 and it's updates, you'll need a much beefier PC. 
 I'm running a P4 1.6 with a gig of ram and I find I could use more power. 
 I'd recommend no less than a P4 2.0 with a gig of ram.
Also, to go to 5.1 you'll need to order the CD's from your IBM business 
partner.  It's a totally separate upgrade than 5.0.  I think it's about 5 
discs.  I'm pretty sure there are updates for the 400 too.  The order code 
is : 5722WDS for the AS/400.  It will include the cd's you need for the 
PC.  Hope this helps.

[WDSCI-L] Advice needed for getting started







Hi,
      After reading the RSE article in Spotlight magazine, I decided to
make the time to check out what all the fuss is about.  I knew we had
WebSphere development studio client for iSeries, V4.0.0, but I had not
really gone into it much.  When I tried following along with the magazine
article, some of the things didn't match up quite right, so I started 
doing
some poking around. I found a web site with downloads for V5.0 advanced
edition & standard edition and version 5.1 advanced edition & standard
edition. I checked out the specs on my PC. I have a P4, 400 Mhz, 572 MB of
memory and 40GB of hard drive. I have Windows 200 Pro, SP4 & Microsoft
Internet Explorer 6.0.  Our iSeries is at 5.2.
      My questions are:
            Can I download the updates or do I need to find the CD's?
            Since I meet the minimums but not the suggested, do I get 5.0
or 5.1?
            Is the update only for my PC or is there something that needs
to happen on the iSeries also?

I am not looking at doing any web work at this point. I would just like to
move away from SEU.  It sounds like RSE is the best thing since sliced
bread, and I would like to try it out.  Thanks!
