Hi Folks I am ruining Mandrake 9.1, on a p3 800MHz with 320Mb PC133 RAM.
KDE 3.1 on startup takes about 25 seconds which although doesn't sound long, seems to take an eternity. I know there are Wm's which load up quickly, but Kde is what I like. My system rarely uses my swap drive(640MB, twice the RAM as per Linus advice), but I was wondering if adding more ram would speed it up any? I have a Small amount of money, but not huge amounts, and want to make a faster system. I use Windows for capturing Videos and encoding takes an age, so I thought RAM would help as well. A new MB and CPU would be nice but out of my price range for the immediate term anyhow. Anybody any suggestions? -- Phil Deane http://www.MiracleExpress.force9.co.uk _______________________________________________ Scottish mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
