quad-core and 8Gb of RAM - yeah, that'll do. In the office I have a few five year old Thinkpads, 1.5GHz Celerons, 512M RAM. These are for people taking them along to do a presentation or demo on site. They've been running openSUSE 10.3, but I thought I'd try out 11.4 - even with desktop effects turned off, it's only borderline useable. I'll have to see what happens if I were to revert to KDE3.
Without compiz and/or other desktop effects, KDE3 will be quite usable with 512mb ram. I've tried it on systems with ram as low as 256mb and it works fine. However, apps like Open/Libre office on those amounts of memory works with noticeable slowness. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
