Ah, but that is the fans. Good silent fans cost more ;-)
It came with a fancy Zalman CPU cooler, and it's so old, I don't really want to spend money on replacing it. I've tried replacing all the other fans, including a silent passively-cooled GPU, but nothing made any noticeable difference. :-(
Yes, exactly. More memory for my Pentium V with 32MiB of RAM was too costly, so purchase instead new computer.
Pentium *V*? I thought they never shipped. But the P4 series were space-heaters anyway. I would not keep such a machine around.
Thus it died of RAM insufficiency. ;-)
Well, that is one way of looking at it, I suppose.
Or a restart of firefox.
If that is the offending app, yes. But if other things stay in RAM, the RAM will remain fragmented.
Well, yes. Did you see that the machine has 8 GiB of RAM, and there were 6 GiB of swap in use? Yes, I need more ram, which means new board, and money. That's the best solution, then easy life... But I do not want to expend that money now.
:-o I did not. I would not use such a setup. I'd set up a 2nd machine as an email server or something first... -- Liam Proven - Technical Writer, SUSE Linux s.r.o.
