Not too concerned with how much memory it may use, but the amount of video RAM
definitely affects performance/speed. KDE and Gnome are sloths on this MoBo with
8 MB of video RAM, not so when I had my GF4 Ti in an AGP slot. Even Pekwm
doesn't have that 'split second' responsiveness I was used to.

"Two different philosophies about the nature of human intellectual production
are in confrontation. One of them has all the chips; the other has all the right
answers. This is part of the long struggle in the history of human beings for
the creation of freedom. This time, we win." -- Eben Moglen, Professor of Law
