Well, I guess that is possible, but it even starts eating into my swap
space.. and I didn't think it would do that. I am not doing that much..
just running X, a wine app, couple of Eterms. I can't figure it out. If
anyone else has any problems please let me know. I noticed when I
upgraded from a P120 to a K62-333, and a S3 card to a G200 Matrox. Don't
know if that matters, but you never know.
