I am considering adding another 16 megs of RAM to my system in an attempt to increase performance--It seems like my system is always swapping. Changing virtual screens in my window manager takes awhile if I have too many things running and overall system performance slows to a halt if I run XEmacs and Netscape at the same time. Anyway, my question is this: if I add memory to my system, will I have to change the amount of swap space that I have (I currently have 64 megs of swap space) and if so, will I have to re-install FreeBSD to do this? -Jesse Troy jtroy@vt.edu http://www.helium.goof.com/~jtroy
