Yes, that's been the main problem over the last 12 months. With firefox and chrome both running with 20-30 tabs each, thunderbird, libre office, skype etc my 8Gb disappears extremely quickly and I end up in the disk io zone of death. I need to be able to do all of the above and run a VM or two for development work so definitely time to up the memory and overall speed. I'll be reusing my existing graphics Nvidia GTS250 - it's more than good enough. I'll definitely check out SSD this time too. Thanks for the feedback! _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
