Another sort-of-related question. I have a similar set-up. It came with
4MB, and I added memory to make it 12MB. I thought that I would see some
speed-up, but the difference has been almost imperceptible. The system
hardly pages now, but X doesn't run any faster. Is there some essential
point of system tuning that I am missing here?
Thanks in advance.
