The key to running KDE3 with PIII is 512MB<=RAM I think. With 768MB RAM and 1400Mhz@1300Mhz PIII I'm not using swap at all (stripped KDE3/7.2-STABLE). I'm runnig opera-devel, firefox35 (fresh ports tree). If memory serves me right, PIII 750/1000Mhz wasn't that bad either. Also, with 512MB it was swapping a little only when compiling something heavy. OO.o could be not usable tho. -best regards, Jakub Lach -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/FreeBSD-for-a-high-school-class--%28long%29-tp24411741p24461017.html Sent from the freebsd-questions mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
