Minimum requirements for 10g install

Hi all,

Reading through Oracle documentation for installing 10g i read the minimum spec required was:

Physical memory (RAM)
256 MB minimum; 512 MB recommended
Virtual memory
Double the amount of RAM
Disk space
Basic Installation Type total: 2.04 GB
Advanced Installation Types total: 1.94 GB
Video adapter
256 colors
Processor
550 MHz minimum

For the physical memory, is it 512MB per instance or as a whole? Reading through other threads i was inclined to think it is per instance?

Thanks in advance,
Chucksk

yes :)

the docs are assumiing that you have one instance per machine

Thanks a bunch guys!

Speaking from experience, running with the suggested minimum spec will work OK but will cause your server to crawl - try to go for as high a spec as you can :)
(or at least a spec that is higher than the minimum)
