[ Thanks to Fred Mobach
for this report. ]

Hello,

On Sep 13, 1999 you ran a story on Siemens:
First SAP certified SAP R/3 Standard Application Benchmark on
Linux!

In some talkbacks people were questioning the amount of RAM in
the Primary server. As I wasn’t involded I didn’t know. So I went
to the Siemens website and read the story. As I found an e-mail
address I asked Mr. Michael Hecht for details and he was so
friendly to mail them. That’s why I submit them here so the other
readers will know also.

Regards,

Fred Mobach
