20050525: Baseline hardware specs



William,

I generally test the build here under Solaris Sparc, Solaris X86,
IRIX, HPUX, OSF/1, AIX, Freebsd, Linux Fedora Core, andmost
recently have had success with Mac OSX.

For hardware, most systems now have more than the minimum capability
to run GEMPAK (128MB ram, X11 support, at least 1GB of space to 
build the distribution) for general displays. The more intensive
operations are decoding data in real time, where the newer 2+ Ghz
machines are much better. Again, commodity machines are probably the best
bang for the buck- instead of getting the latest chips for the price-performance
point..
