Still swapping is a nightmare especially for big graphical applications like netscape. I say bump the memory as much as you can. It is the cheepest way to better performance for any cofiguration. Most late 486 boards will take at least 64Meg ram. I see 32Meg 72pin EDO going for a couple bucks. And 486 motherboards going for $30 to $50. Max the memory and over clock like crazy. Maybe your experiance is different chris Dutch Collins writes: On may 486 at 100Mz, 32Mb, KDE+netscape == Win98+netscape. However, I like to crunch seti numbers, oops, netscape page faults like a M*^^%*. I need an article, reference book, something, about load balancing. Maybe I can find some RAM under the table but I don't think so. Icky stuff for me. Never had to run the VMS system I was on. -d To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message __ Chris Fedde 303 773 9134 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
