But we need to have more space to process the task. It will be the size for the base releases + the RU (around 2.8GB), while the GOLD IMAGE is just 980MB available to be installed right after unzipping it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So, comparing the two processes we can notice the difference, we can use it but in my opinion, the GOLD IMAGE is worth it. The only point is that 23ai is starting now, so, maybe in the future Oracle can change the way and start to make the two versions (RU and GOLD IMAGE) difference between them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Disclaimer<\/strong>: \u201c<em>The postings on this site are my own and don\u2019t necessarily represent my actual employer positions, strategies, or opinions.
