Hi all,

Just a quick question regarding OpenServer 5.0.2

How much memory can the operating system support.

Regards

MARK

Look at http://www.sco.com/cgi-bin/ssl_reference?105137.
One only hint: OSR5.0.2 supports 768MB in fact.

The Large System Supplement was only available through fancy support
channels like Engineering Services. I don't think it's available at
all, at any price, any more. Integrated support for 4GB RAM started in
OpenServer 5.0.4. You are strongly recommended to upgrade (to 5.0.6,
the current release).

I would also urge you to upgrade to atleast 5.04.
Although the 4gb supplement was available for 5.02
it wasn't able to be tested with 4GB due the cost of
the RAM. Remember at that time 4GB cost close to
150-200K. When the support for 4GB during 5.04 was
being done a large company shipped a loan system with
4GB already installed. The memory alone cost about
110K. There were some changes that had to be made for
the support to work and based on that I would say the
supplement won't work for 4GB.

There have been many positive fixes and enhancements
to the 5.06 release. Go with that one.

just my 2 cents
