Hey Bob, Are you running Linux? Thelma is running solaris so is constrained to 1Gb processors, but Linux will support 2Gb processors currently....If you have the resources, I would ramp up the memory and increase processing power as well. We have found that if your queue can reside completely in memory you can greatly reduce I/O functions.. My .02$ PS: Did you get the shirt? -Jeff ____________________________ _____________________ Jeff Weber address@hidden Unidata Support PH:303-497-8676 NWS-COMET Case Study Library FX:303-497-8690 University Corp for Atmospheric Research 3300 Mitchell Ln http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/staff/jweber Boulder,Co 80307-3000 ________________________________________ ______________________ On Wed, 27 Mar 2002, Robert Leche wrote: > Sirroco is a single processor 450mhz system with 384megs of ram.
