512MB of fury

(January 20th, 2006 - 11:24AM)

One of our more active clients has been complaining recently about massive slowdown on one of our servers. A bit of investigation revealed that the machine only has 512MB of RAM, which is not nearly enough to fully manage the load on this server. I'm not sure why there was only 512MB of RAM in this machine. I thought for sure there was at least 1GB. In any event, we're going to rectify the problem ASAP.

• Windows 2000 Server RAM requirements: ~200MB
• WebGENCAT Java requirements: ~170MB
• WebGENCAT back-end requirements: ~130MB
• Daily calls from an irate librarian: priceless.
