Very very interesting---all four. I discovered my 64 MB RAM was being
used at
about 99% max and my 188 MB swap about 8% max. Does that mean I won't
benefit from more RAM or SWAP?

Yeah, 128 is definitely preferable. I remember trying stuff with as little

If you're using over 200MB of swap, your system would be moving slower than
some continents. There is nothing really _wrong_ in having over 200MB of
swap, but there would be nothing to gain. If you need over 200MB (assuming
you have a decent level of RAM), either you're doing something _very_

i just checked my stats for memory usage, and i have 288mg ram and a 250mg
swap space. however, my swap is using 0% and my memory is listed at using
90%. how do i tell LM 8.0 to use more swap space than ram?
thanks, Dave

Don't worry about it... let Linux do one of the things that it does best-

This has me curious. If I don't need much swap, should I not make much swap?
Or is there no upper limit? If it's the more the marrier, why not always just
make, say, 500MB? I personally have a PIII 866 with 256MB of RAM. What should
my swap size be? On a sidenote, why does it show up when

The point of swap space is to allow you to have more programs `running'
Hello!
I would be grateful if you could help me with the following
problem I have with Linux. I am currently using Linux-Mandrake 6.1 but I need to
increase the swap space on my machine. How do I go about doing it ?I
did try to install diskdrake from the website but I wasn't able to do that
Well I would look for a crack for vmware on alt.linux.crackz , alt.linux.warez
or see if you can trade or sell your current printer.

I amended my lilo.conf file and put in the 128M bit. Worked like a charm, I can now
open more windows, run more apps, and to more stuff that before

Jaguar.the 128 mb limit was for the 2.0.x kernals and does

On a related topic, why would my machine only detect 65MB of my RAM
when I have 128 MB? When I did
try to change this manually, my machine crashed during boot.
I'm not sure what you mean by "manually," but I had the same
situation until I added the following line:
append="mem=124M"
above
Did you take into account shared mem???
128MB-(shared vid mem)=???MB

I have read that a swap space partition cannot be larger than 128 Mb,
but at the same time it should apparently be 1.5 times the RAM size? Since
I have 192 Mb RAM, I guess I should have around 300 Mb swap space? Is this
correct? How can I do this if a single swap space cannot be larger
