You would think that 640mb is exesive, but you have never run a shell server then. ;-) I do need it. At 512mb, I was swaping a good 30mb to disk. Right now, I am agreeing with your conclusion. > > Bad bad bad. Mixing ram is not good. :P My guess is that one of >those new 128MB dimms you put in is no good.
