Greets, gentoo-users, as I ordered myself an upgrade from 4 to 8 gigs of RAM for my main workstation, just because it's rather cheap now and I have good use for the "old" 4 gigs I wonder what to do with those shiny new additional 4 gigs.
OK, linux uses it for IO-caching, yep ... I have some ram-disk already for compiling stuff (portage-stuff) and I can think of increasing app-caches like operas own ram-cache to make use of the memory. I will give my virtual machines more RAM to improve their performance, yes, this is maybe the main reason for me to upgrade RAM. But are there any other things I might forget? Are there any creative non-ricer ways to really make use of it? I would like to hear your opinion on this, I am quite sure the gentoo-community knows one trick or the other ;-) Thanks a lot, Stefan
