(including swap, excluding ZFS) I'm using my home computer for browsing, development, gaming, and multimedia (watching and editing videos, transcoding them and so on), typesetting, image editing and other average stuff. The system has an Intel Core 2 CPU 4300 with 1.8GHz clock, and 2 GB RAM are installed, plus 2 GB swap partition. The RAM is usually used less than half capacity. To start using the swap space, I needed to open more than 70 tabs with "Flash" in the Opera web browser. This was the result (htop summary): 1 [|||| 7.9%] 2 [| 2.6%] Mem[|||||||||||||||||||1601/1990MB] Swp[||||| 275/2047MB] I'm obviously doing something wrong. ;-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
