Hi, I have two Linux installations: AMD 700 MHz, 375MB Ram, 8GB HD Intel 1000 MHz, 1000Mb Ram, 40 + 20GB HD
The AMD is faster then it used to be with win2000 The Intel is so slow you would think I am running it on a 286 or something, no really is very slow. The slow machine: Intel Celeron Processor 1 GHz 100 Mhz System Bus 256 KB L2 Cache Amptron PIII-3758TLM Board v 5.2 MicroATX with SiS630eT Chipset Kernel: I have tried many. At first I did not know if the problem was with the hd speed the memory speed or the CPU till I found out that it was the CPU load, meanwhile I have tried following installations with no change in speed 1) Regular of the newest Debian CDs 2) using Knoppix hdinstall 2.4.22-xfs then upgraded to the 686 Kernel did not use xfs 3) using Morhix hdinstall with kernel 2.4.21-xfs and used xfs file system 4) using Morhix hdinstall with kernel upgrade to 686-smp but did not get it to work 5) running now Morhix hdinstall with kernel 2.4.21-xfs but not with the xfs file system The problem is the CPU load when idle it runs between 5-30 % As soon as I start an application it goes up to 100% and stays there till the application is done loading. Loading an application like Kmail takes about 2 to 3 minutes. -- Dennis Kaplan http://vmclinks.com http://guyscope.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
