For untweaked desktop machines reality does not agree. For instance I just launched a empty oowriter instance. No other OO apps running. It is using 140MB or ram. (80mb private ram, 60mb shared ram) I already posted that firefox and Xorg are using over 200mb each. 512MB is just not enough for the apps in OS 11.1
My five year old has a PC with 2.6GHz P4 and 512M - it does work very well, but then he's not exactly into running OO and FF and Java and lots of other stuff at the same time. I also think 512M is too little.
I'd guess that 1.5GB is now the minimum for a untweaked desktop environment, but 2GB is easier to buy/install.
My office machines still only have 1Gb, and that's entirely reasonable. I'm sure newer machines will come with 2Gb though. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (17.5°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
