Hi, I have 160Mb of SDRAM (PC100) on a 233Mhz CyrixInstead machine and I seem to have memory mangament problems. The BIOS indicates I have 160, so does the BSD bootstrap program. When I launch GNOME 2.2 everythings is good as gold untill I open the System monitor program. It says that I have 149 Mb of RAM which is fine ( 4Mb of video..and the rest...god knows). I open every program I have and after 107Mb the machine starts to swap with about 50Mb left unused!! I recompliled the GENERIC kernal for the sake of it really (Im still an amature) I didn't mess with the configuration files or anything (I just don't know how!!). Is this normal or mismanagement of memory in the 5.1 version of the excellent FreeBSD kernel??
