The few, the brave, the Ada programmers.  You guys would
understand, so I'll ask for some opinions if you don't
mind giving them up:

Two MVME 177 Cards running in a box, Lynx is OS.  Card A
knows not of Card B.  They share no memory, share no work.
Apps on A stay on A, same on B.  We require x percent of
CPU overhead remain as reserve, and x percent memory remain
as reserve.  Sales pitch is that we add up CPU usage, add
up memory reserves, divide by 2, amazingly enough, we get
adequate both.  Card A at 14meg of 16 used, we need 25%.
Card B has loads, 10meg left over.  Add them up/2, you get
a pretty good figure.  Forget for a minute that the mem on
one card is useless to the other...

Any opinions on this method of calculating chip/memory
overhead numbers???  email me if you have to, and thanks
to the few and the brave.
