2003-10-28 Thread LinuxLingam
friends got this old celeron some 700 odd mhz type pc. with 64mb ram. he installed redhat8 on it, and it runs really slow, especially when it comes to openoffice. he decides to upgrade ram to a nice 64 + 128 MB. machine still slow. i remembered something about swap disk being optimised for ram.

A 700 MZh Pc is fast enough to run linux!! It is a decent speed. You now have 192MB ram and thus the swap partition should now be set to around 384MB rather than just 200MB. It should work faster. Have hope, the horse is not dead as yet- fit enough for a few more races:-) Arvind At 03:30 PM

thanks guys for your inputs. just went and kicked and some tyres on the pc, and started by switching off services not needed, checked the swap was *equal* to the ram, felt shaky about messing with swap size with someone else's installed and running pc, and discovered its speed was better.

Hi, I hope your system now has two RAM DIMMs 64 + 128. That is bound to slow down your system. Remove the 64 MB, and run using a single 128MB chip. You will experience better performance. As for swap, if you see the swap usage close to 170 MB or so then you may create additional swap file - see
