What version of SUSE are you using? I don't think the memory is the
problem. I always have my memory almost full but that is because Linux
manages the memory differently. I think there was a bug in the kernel
and the SATA driver but not sure. Please give more information.(notebook
model, suse version, etc)

Hello. Recently I bought a new notebook computer with 64-bit AMD CPU and
installed SuSE x86_64 on it. The speed is significantly slower then my
old notebook computer. In order to tell if this is an OS problem or
hardware problem, I installed Windows on both computer and tried again.
Both have 512MB memory.
I. Windows OS on new notebook is *significantly* faster then
Windows on my old notebook;
II. SuSE x86_64 on new notebook is *significantly* slower then SuSE
x86 on my old notebook.
I think probably memory is the key problem, SuSE x86_64 once start up
gnome desktop environment, without running any application, can eat up
400MB memory. If I run yast the difference is more obvious: on SuSE
x86_64 running yast with software management, free(1) tells 400MB
physical memory is used (rest of physical memory are cache), 400MB swap
space is used, all together 800MB.
I just suspect that probably running SuSE x86_64 might use as twice as
memory of that x86_32 version? In that case I probably better choose
SuSE x86_32.
