What 3d app are you running? I haven't seen any scene in my years of working that couldn't be worked in 2Gigs of ram. Ram might seem cheap for one workstation but when you have 300-1000 rendernodes that all need to have 4 gigs of ram to handle some ones scene you suddenly start to wear costs.

Has anyone got any ideas on how to speed up a swap space/drive,
I have a 3ghz, 2gb ram, 2gb swap on ata machine running FC3. I create a lot of 3d material and run into swap usage with big scenes. This is ok but after a while i end up having to restart the machine or turn the swap off then on as it becomes extremely slow to do anything and at times X will quit or the 3d app I am using.
Would it be feasible to use a SCSI drive and split it up into multiple 2gb swap partitions or has anyone got a better suggestion.
Thanks,
