I'm going to respond to all of you at once. It is a Dell Inspiron 600m 1.6GHz Centrino with 1GB RAM. I bought it in July '05 and have had only SUSE on it ever since - 9.3, 10.0, 10.1 being the versions. I haven't added anything at all to the hardware, and have simply been keeping my updates running through SMART. I ran memtest last night and it seemed to show some issues with some portion of memory. However, I don't know what exactly it was showing me, just that there are some red lines which I suppose I need to write down. Thanks all! > Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> As often as possible!
