Hello, I've just added more RAM on my old Pentium 100. Now I have 128 Mb of RAM and as expected I'm experiencing a slowdown when a program is run above the 64 Mb limit. I think that running programs in the first 64 Mb and using the upper 64 Mb as a swap area would be more efficient because I would not experience as many performance penalties due to cache problems and swapping in RAM should be a lot faster than swapping on hard drive. Am I correct?
How do I make sure the RAM disk is created in the upper 64 Mb? I think I should have something like the following in my /etc/fstab /dev/ram0 none swap sw,pri=2 0 0 /dev/sda3 none swap sw,pri=1 0 0 so the swap area in memory have a higher priority than the one on my hard disk. What should I do to enable swap space in RAM? Should I add a command like mkswap /dev/ram0 65536 in /etc/init.d/checkroot.sh before the `swapon -a' command.
