If you're that low on RAM, then you'll constantly be tearing through swap. In technical terms, your computer is going nuts. OTOH, I understand student budgets. If your system is that low-end, then you can probably upgrade to a whole new computer for less than what you'd pay for RAM. I'd say that about 2 trips to your local plasma donation center can probably get you a used Celeron system with 128MB of RAM. -- Kirk Strauser -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
