    Hello,

    I'm new to both IBM and AIX. We recently purchased a p650 to replace
    some aging Digital Servers which run our enterprise application of SCT
    Banner 2000 on Oracle 9i.

    My question is regarding which version of AIX to run? For some reason
    the purchase of the server came with AIX 5.1, but 5.2 seems to be the
    latest. I would really like to reap the benefits of running the latest
    release of the OS as long as there are no drawbacks. Are there
    drawbacks? Are there any reasons to stick with 5.1? What was my vendor
    thinking? Perhaps they weren't thinking? Will I have to pay for an
    upgrade?

    Thanks,
