I have 2.047 Gig. (an old DOS partition, set as a swap partition)
with 64 Meg. of RAM with the 2.2.16 kernel, it seldom uses very much.
But this cured a nasty problem on the spot, Netscape's memory
leak would cause Netscape and anything running in the X system
to grind to a halt after 2 or 3 hours. I have been free of this
since adding the swap partition.
I have opened as many programs as I could, until I got dizzy,
and other than the time it takes to get it from the hd to display
the programs, (when I switch) it seems like I have unlimited RAM.
(I have very slow hd speed because of a hardware failure)
