No, you need dmesg for that. For example: CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) XP processor 1700+ (1462.51-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0x662 Stepping = 2 Features=0x383f9ff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,MMX,FXSR,SSE> AMD Features=0xffffffffc0480000<MP,AMIE,DSP,3DNow!> real memory = 536870912 (524288K bytes) avail memory = 513773568 (501732K bytes) > The physical memory is actually 256MB. > >> And how much swap? > > I forgot. Any command to check that ? pstat -s. But it was the line below the one you quoted from top. > I vaguely remember it's about 2 times of physical memory as > recommended by BSD.

Create another swap partition. If you really can't do that, you'll have to create a vnode device with vnconfig(8), but I don't recommend that. In this case, yes, adding more memory might solve the problem. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
