I am considering to upgrade the RAM to 1GB.. Is this a good idea or should I spend the money on a new CPU instead? I often compile several ports at the same time and I run many X-applications. I use this server for network stability testing too... (running several rain processes that eat lots of RAM) Oh, forgot to mention that it's a web, mysql, mail and DNS server too. :) (faster compile times is probably priority no 1) Best regards, Morsal To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
