Not really; from what I've heard, X is just too slow on the SE/30's GPU to do anything useful with it. Throwing more RAM at the problem minimises swapping out to disk but doesn't do much else. The biggest problem with serving files from RAM is that you need an OS of some sort on a disk of some sort just to get the machine booted, since it can't cold boot from RAM. -- the pickle FAQ <http://macfaq.org/index.shtml> _________________________________________________________________ -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
