With redhat-9, mozilla, bunch of gnome-terminals, occasional GIMP use, multiple desktops, etc. I definitely notice a big difference between 256 MB's and 512 MB's. IMO definitely worth the cost of an upgrade.
If not money limited, for a new machine I'd consider 1GB of ram, assuming it's going to last at least 3 years. Not that it is needed today, but in general I find 512 MB's today about as useful, fast, and consistent as 256 MB's was 3 years ago. _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
