- I just upgraded my system memory for a total of 8 megs and the
- performance increase was phenominal. Everything works faster.
- I had 4 megs before, and if took over an hour to compile 0.97.2 kernel
- with gcc2.2.2d, now in takes a whopping 15 minutes. Also, X stuff
- runs alot faster.
-
- If you are thinking about upping your memory, do it!
