In the distant past I've even tried Con Kolivas's scheduler (not BFS, the one before when he was still hoping to get it into mainline), but that didn't make any difference.

In that one I filled up the memory (I forget what the capacity is) and discovered that it wouldn't run reliably unless I backed off the memory speed. ISTR the same is also true for this one - with less memory it at least runs them at the rated speed. It isn't really worth spending money on this box, even for whatever DDR2 memory now costs - as well as the R200 video it has the Via SATA chipset : the one chipset that is only good for SATA-1, newer disks aren't even recognised. Maybe I'll see if I can find the mobo from my other old desktop and see if I can get 2x1GB from that. I'm still hoping to play with X32 on this box, but otherwise it isn't a very productive box for compiling ;) ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
