I really don't like to counter that with "buy more RAM", but today desktop systems with 1Gb or less are probably outdated. Up until recently, I also had a few elderly office systems with only 1Gb and KDE3, but with a few office documents, office, browser, acrobat etc, 1Gb for a desktop just isn't efficient any more.
The gotcha there is.. despite the relatively low prices on RAM (You can easily get 16GB of DDR3 for under 90 Euro), these old systems are using old RAM that is obsolete. If you want to buy it new, it will cost you big time if a show even has any in stock.
I "upgraded" all of our office machines last year, but only to 2nd hand HP desktops - 3GHz CPUs, 2Gb RAM. CHF50/each. (ebay, ricardo). Wrt plain memory, ebay usually has plenty to offer. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (7.4°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
