Yes. Strangely they both have a different setup, one offers 1800 Mhz speed and the other only 1000 although they have the same capacity. > I've found 3 or 4 big mistakes in what lshw has reported on other > hardware, but cannot recall the specifics since it was so long ago.

If you don't understand it all quite well you will need to do it slowly and quietly. :) To prevent the kernel from swapping to disk (using the swap partition, which is slower than a swap in ram), install this: http://meets.free.fr/Downloads/BentoVillageProject/Configurations/System/etc/sysctl.d/50-local.conf to /etc/sysctl.d/ this is what it says: ********* ## Configure swappiness # Uncomment the next line if we are running a laptop # vm.laptop_mode = 1 vm.swappiness=0 vm.vfs_cache_pressure=50 ********* very commonly adviced in many places on the web, which I use in all my systems since a while now. Then the following: http://meets.free.fr/Downloads/BentoVillageProject/Configurations/System/Zram/ Read the README. Change your /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf for this one: http://meets.free.fr/Downloads/BentoVillageProject/Configurations/System/Zram/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf what is added is only this: COMPCACHE_SIZE="25%" instead of COMPCACHE_SIZE="" in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf.d/compcache change this: COMPCACHE_SIZE="50%" for this: COMPCACHE_SIZE="25%" This is what the patch file means: http://meets.free.fr/Downloads/BentoVillageProject/Configurations/System/Zram/usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf.d/compcache.patch and IF you are in a Live, in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/compcache change this: # Do not use compcache on the liveCD if we have more than 512M for this: # Do not use compcache on the liveCD if we have more than 2048M and after this: if [ "\${BOOT}" = "casper" ]; then change this: if [ "\${TOTAL_RAM}" -gt 524288 ]; then for this: if [ "\${TOTAL_RAM}" -gt 2097152 ]; then This is what is intented with the file http://meets.free.fr/Downloads/BentoVillageProject/Configurations/System/Zram/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/compcache.patch Regards, Mélodie -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-qa Post to : lubuntu-qa@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-qa More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
