But, I'm finding that more often then note, doing things like switching V-Windows in KDE is 'lagged' ... top on the P4 shows: last pid: 23514; load averages: 4.30, 3.61, 3.33 up 0+01:31:11 18:01:51 131 processes: 6 running, 125 sleeping CPU states: 46.7% user, 0.0% nice, 50.3% system, 3.0% interrupt, 0.0% idle Mem: 327M Active, 43M Inact, 79M Wired, 26M Cache, 60M Buf, 18M Free Swap: 2048M Total, 300K Used, 2048M Free while the laptop shows as: last pid: 89193; load averages: 2.46, 2.18, 2.04 up 1+20:01:22 18:02:35 84 processes: 2 running, 82 sleeping CPU states: 91.9% user, 0.0% nice, 7.1% system, 1.0% interrupt, 0.0% idle Mem: 77M Active, 52M Inact, 45M Wired, 8952K Cache, 28M Buf, 1376K Free Swap: 256M Total, 39M Used, 217M Free, 15% Inuse Both are running SCHED_ULE ... and both are IDE drives ... But the P4 just feels like the slower of the two :( ---- Marc G. Fournier Hub.Org Networking Services (http://www.hub.org) Email: scrappy@hub.org Yahoo!: yscrappy ICQ: 7615664
