> than a Cray, but Linux isn't *that* demanding is it? last week i added 1gb RAM to my previously 512mbyte lenovo (3000 N100) to stop the linux system from thrashing. all i run directly is firefox and drawterm. the system was fine at 512mbyte until a few weeks ago (when more updates arrived).
i could probably have got by with `only' 256mbyte or 512mbyte more but the bigger memory card was hardly more expensive.
