4GB is a ton for regular tasks. That’s all two of my boxes have and I can even run virtualbox with a linux guest without issue. I don’t see how those two apps are going to max out your system. I bet your issues are not firefox and eclipse. What is really using your system resources? - Eric _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
