Very unlikely. SAP apps of any stripe tend to grab big chunks of memory no matter what they're actually doing and just sit on it. You might be able to get away with allocating lots of XSTOR and tolerating a really, REALLY high paging rate, but application performance will still be affected, and you'll still need to buy a lot of memory. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
