Hi,

        I understand 810 may not be a good processor to use as a server.
But, previous to this we had installed 6.2 on another Compaq with a Intel
PIII 440BX with 256 Mb Ram. Even on this m/c, 6.2 Linux showed the same
behavior of hanging / slowing down appreciabely when users work remotely
or run some system commands or copy some big files. Even here, the 'top'
and free commands always seem to show the used memory at around 70 to 80
% of the total memory of 256 Mb even just after booting. So, we cannot
unilaterally blame it on 810.
