Once I get in enough gear (read: my processor) for my Athlon > 1800+, I'll let you know what I can do with a GB of PC2100 RAM these days. I don't think that will really help.

All of my AMD machines build world in about 30 minutes, and can build a release in just a few hours. - Murray To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-qa" in the body of the message
