- 50% Correct. You don't need to do anything to the OS when you
- add ram. However, if you want to optimize the use of that
- added ram, I suggest a dash of kernel tuning. Xenix 2.3.x
- arrives pre-configured for a minimum amount of RAM. Some of
- the important kernel paramaters are "determined at boot time".
- I suggest "Tuning System Performance" in the System
- Administrator's Guide. This includes a table of recommended
- values based upon different amounts of RAM.
-
- If you want to see what your current paramaters are,
- cd /usr/sys/conf
- ./configure -x
- will belch 5 pages of kernel parameters.
-
- This also works under SCO Unix as,
- cd /etc/conf/cf.d
- ./configure -x
-
- Just for a sanity check, I sure hope that the RAM you're
- adding is 32 bit memory (on the mother board or on a 32
- bit add-on card) and NOT 16 bit memory commonly found on
- AT style ram cards that plug into the ISA bus.
