I would like to hear comments from a few others (if there are any) who are using SUSE v9.x on systems with speeds in the neighborhood that is available to me with the faster CPU on this MB.
I would also suggest looking at your RAM. The more the merrier. How much do you have now?
512MB.
My most powerful machine has a 733MHz CPU with 512MB RAM. Granted it runs SuSE 7.2 (I've never gone for a later one), but there are no delays of any kind, with KDE. A very snappy machine. If I were to up it to your proposed 800MHz it would be a blazer!
This is very encouraging.
Even my very old 75MHz machine (64MB RAM) is fast enough for what I use it for (but that's an even older SuSE -- 5.2), while a laptop
I can understand this only if SUSE v5.2 is a real lightweight in comparison with current releases. And I don't know what to make of the example below.
with 366MHz and 128MB RAM is still pretty good with Red Hat 9 and GNOME (though sluggish at times since GNOME is heavy and it's not long before the disk-swapping cuts in -- but, if I could put 512 MB RAM into it, it too would be pretty snappy).
Hoping this helps,
It does. Many thanks. I am convinced that the 800MHz CPU is the way to go. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel "When your enemy falls, do not rejoice." -- Proverbs 24:17 Now that European currencies are superceded by the Euro, will all European banks become Eurinals?
