60% of what? 1G? 4G? 8G? FF is a memory hog. So is everything else. Upgrade memory. 4G if all you do is web browsing and email. 8G or more if you run a myriad office applications and a VM inside it too. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://pegasus.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
