More physical RAM should mean less paging and swapping is required. You can examine what memory is currently being used with top or the command free. Load your system up with several xterms a few browser windows and see if you need swap now. You may find that the extra memory isn't needed. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
