| I am going to install Oracle 8i Personal
Editon on Win 2000 Professional and I prefer
to use FAT instead of NTFS because of
speed. I have a decent Pentium 3 computer
with a 20 GB hard disk and 256K ram.
Please advise if I can run it on FAT. It is for study purpose only (for the OCP Developer track). | |

| It should run on FAT no problems but to be honest I dont know why you'd want to choose FAT over NTFS. FAT32 has a cluster size of 4 kb and whereas NTFS has a 1kb cluster size making it alot more efficient. The NTFS file permissions also make it much more managable with alot more options.
Youre choice but I'd strongly recommend NTFS over FAT32 | |

| ...and you will be pushing to get anything working with only 256 K of RAM.... LOL | |

| Hi,
Oracle works both on FAT32 and NTFS ... but I guess you won't notice a difference with Oracle PE and 256 MB RAM 
But disks and RAM doesn't matter while learning Oracle .. I use an old/tiny Celeron 433, 396 MB RAM and 8 GB disk (NTFS) with Oracle 8i Enterprise Ed. - and it works perfectly - also having more than Oracle running ... 
Welcome to this forum ! | |

| Yeah RAM won't be a problem for learning on.
I'm only running a pent 3 500 with 256MB of RAM and it runs fine. I also run photoshop and loads of other proggys that take up loads of memory although I doset the Oracle services to manual sothat I have to start them up when I want to use it. |
