    what do you have running on your system at the moment...are you pushing your memory to the limit?

    right now i have 19 browser windows, winamp, remote center, nav 2002, LCDC, BPFTP, zonealarm pro, messanger, and MBM....

    everything is zipping along just fine....

    how about you?

    edit: and photoshop 7

    I'm running...

    All kinds of stuff. :) Most of my systems act as servers, but my workstations are currently running:

    Workstation #1

    Epic4 (IRC)
    The Gimp (image editing)
    A few dozen terminals with SSH connections active
    Various IM crap I have to have for friends

    #2

    Propellerhead's Reason (Audio software)
    Nothing else. With 1.5 gigs of ram, I still manage to use it up with some of my more intensive songs, loading a few hundred samples taxes any system. :)

    Well if my sister used the pc it would be word x 20; as she opened a new version of word instead of a new page :lol:
    She wondered why the pc was running slow with 192mb of ram.

    I really like the tab feature that Mozilla & Galeon have. There's an add-on for IE that does it too. Forget where, but a past co-worker had it on his machine.

    Well, I run Win98SE with 768MB Infineon PC133-222; no comments please :D

    Right now, I have 636MB free memory.

    I once tried to assign 400MB to DVDX to rip a DVD and Windows told me that I have insufficient memory, although the windows system monitor showed over 500megs free mem :cries:

    time to switch to XP I think.


    Oh forgot, I'm also running Suse Linux 7.3 and the maximum mem usage I ever got was around 550 megs.
    But Linux sucks. I'm a windows user, and proud of it :dude:
