I am running an AMD k6-2 300mhz and 64mb SDRAM at 100mhz...I will try experimenting with the kernel. Thanks
It sounds like you are running on an older system, and you are having a problem with your RAM, you can try compiling the kernel to think that it can only allocate the first 16 Mb of RAM. Older RAM can cause slowdowns when you put too much in. You'll start using a lot more swap, but the multitasking speeds should improve.
