I am sort of having similar problems.. My computer was cyrix 366 mhz and it runs blazing fast with Mandrake 7.0 when having 128 mb of pc100 memory - It was really impressive comparing to win98 it shipped with; But now after I upgrade to an celeron 600 mhz with the same memory and Mandrake 7.2 - kde becomes quite sluggish. .. often it takes most of my memory for buffering - but when I do open a new application - those buffer doesn't seem to help.. I only use it to run gcc compilers and tex wordprocessing, sometimes xpdf and netscape... is it possible for me to disable the buffering after I start up the computer? thanks Eric On Tue, 11 Sep 2001, Franki wrote: > I regularly get several months uptime from a server with mdk7.2 and it only > has 128mb of pc133... > > Until next week anyway, then it gets an upgrade to 256 or 512mb... > > I don't think it'll make a huge lot of difference, all its running is > Postfix, Amavis and serving web and cgi stuff... > > does about 1200 emails a day and runs 7 domains... > > The uptime shows that its usage is nearly 0 across the board... > > Maybe 2.4 kernels are less efficient for this sort of stuff?? > > > rgsd > > Frank > > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Brandon Caudle > Sent: Tuesday, 11 September 2001 7:23 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [newbie] RAM: How much is enough? > > > If you talking about how much ram is necessary, I feel there is never > enough, I have 768meg of PC133, and Suse Still uses 400meg of swap.
