memory management I couldn't help but notice...
Ever run Windose? try running dnetc and LimeWire at the same time!
LimeWire will choke...but don't blame the program because I noticed this...
I have a spare box for a friend, all my boxes are GNU Linux boxes of one flavor or another. Now it's only a sad little AMD K6/2 333MHz with 256MB of PC133. As some of you know the early AMD's had a bad rap back then...yet it runs dnetc and LimeWire at the same time! - it's a little slow but it runs for days and days and days...
I try this same thing on a shiny P4 2.2A with very fast and plentful memory at work and it fails. Funny how Micro$oft never did get memory management down pat, I mean I might run windose one day if it didn't make my hardware look so bad. I know I know buy new hardware, well not all the computer geeks have nice jobs. well not this guy anyways.... |
