What does 'free' say? Does 'ps ax' show many processes as SW (swapped)? Are any of these critical? 8 MB is really a minimal system. I suspect that you probably could use more ram plus a bigger swap. I ran a 486 with 16 MB of ram as a router and it worked fairly well. I plan to runs a few server apps on it so I recently replaced it with a P-120 motherboard (which cost all of $50 USD, including 32 MB of ram) and the difference is noticeable. Bob
