Hi,
I would like to train and improve my AIX knowledge with the newest 6.1 features.

So, the qouestion is - is it possible to install the AIX 6.1 on obsolete
workstation IBM RS/6000 7043-150 43P Model 150 with following configuration:
- PowerPC 604e/375MHz, cache 1MB,
- RAM 512 MB
- 2 x 4GB HDD SCSI,
- CD-ROM SCSI 32x,
- Floppy 1,44MB,
- GPU GTX3000P.

If not,
what sould be the minimum workstation configuration that would support AIX 6.1
usage (at home, for training)?

Pozdrawiam,
Krzysztof

6.1 needs Power4 or better.
So the minimum would be some IntelliStation 275.
They start to appear relatively cheap in the used market.

But don't scrap your 150, it still can run 5.3.

My understanding is that system needs to have a power 4 processor or
greater.
