didn't mean to sound condescending. I was just trying to add to the
point of importance of RAM. Virtual memory makes it so that you can
address MORE RAM than you physically have. It has many other benefits
as well. But it goes without saying that the more RAM you have, the
better. When I first installed Mandrake 9.0, I ran it for 2 months
without using any swap space. I have 512MB RAM. I don't intend to
screw around with performance. Hell, I'd use a gig or more if I thought
it wasn't overkill for my applications...
