-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have only 1GB of RAM and a 2GB swap. My scaling governor is set to ondemand and I don't have a problem with audio (playing oggs on vlc) skipping with disk IO and ftp happening simultaneously. My kernel is 2.6.20-16-generic on Ubuntu 7.04. Do the files work properly when they are the only thing running?
