Even though I like KDE 4 I am not going to 11.1 with KDE4 until someone releases a procedure/configuration/patch for KDE4 to run a little more efficiently. It currently takes too much memory and cpu cycles. 11.1 w/KDE 4 requires 768m more memory then 11.0/kde3.5 for almost the same performance. Simply opening the same test document with OO-3.0 (same OO version tested on both 11.0 and 11.1) takes literally 2 times longer just to open! This is the first time SuSE has released a product that I can't make fit on my machines.
Dell Optiplex GX520 256m memory 2.8ghz P4. Purchased in 2006 so these are not old machines yet.
I find it hard to believe Dell was still getting away with selling business computers with so little RAM so recently. RAM is so cheap now it's insane to run a DDR or DDR2 desktop system on less than 1G RAM. I just bought enough to take all my Optiplexes to at least 1G. http://www.pricewatch.com/system_memory/ddr_pc3200_1gb.htm http://www.pricewatch.com/system_memory/ddr2-800_pc2-6400_1gb.htm -- "Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain."
