Hello,
I'm trying to arrange some in-house training and want to be sure my training PC's have enough horsepower to handle running independent V5 Broker, ConfigManager and Toolkit software (and of course, MQ, DB2, etc). The various platform requirements websites I've visited don't go much beyond desktop needs for the toolkit (P3 or higher, 700+ Mhz and 512 MB RAM).
My machines consist of single processor (2.3 Ghz, P4) running Windows XP Pro - 512 Mb RAM and 40 Gb disk space.
I don't care too much about performance, since I'm sure the classroom exercises won't be too taxing. I just need to ensure the products will run comfortably well. The machines will have no other software on them (no Notes, no mainframe emulation, etc.)
Does anyone have any experience or opinions on whether our 12 students will be able to make use of this environment running standalone copies of the V5 tools? Or, will the environment be so sluggish that it will be frustrating to develop a flow, create a BAR, deploy, debug, etc?
Thanks in advance!

I'd recommend a gig of RAM, if you can swing it. Also, make sure that VM has enough disk space so you aren't swapping excessively.
Other than that, you're at about the same configuration as my laptop, and I get along quite well doing.
You should be okay for a classroom experience. Don't do any large message sets (more than 100 elements or so), or large flows - that will really kill the Tooling.
But, of course, there's only one way to be sure... and if you're running training you should always take the time to do a dry run before the students show up. (Assuming you're given the chance!)

| I was running all tools on a laptop with a 1Ghz P4 and 1GB of memory. I did even do a lot of development on this machine including aggregation nodes etc. You should be fine with your configuration. |

I am running everything on a desktop (2.4 GHz, 512MB RAM) and it's slow. I feel that you need atleast 1 GB RAM.
