Would there be any advantage in putting more than 1 gigabyte of RAM in a Suse 10.2 box? I understand that the RAM usage is generally low.

I routinely use 2 GB of real memory plus another 1 GB of swap.
RAM usage is entirely dependent upon what YOU do with the machine, so whoever told you that was talking through his anal orifice.
My own personal theory is that if you are able to max out the memory usable by the computer, do it. Reason: Memory is faster than hard drives. The more memory you have available the less you have to rely on swap. I have 1.5G and would like to get it up to 2G [ max on my particular board ]. No, I don't use it all ALL the time. Generally it shows some free during normal usage. BUT, on some days I get things opening and moving around and I may have both desktops swamped with stuff going in different directions. -- (o:]>*HUGGLES*<[:o) Billie Walsh The three best words in the English Language: "I LOVE YOU" Pass them on! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
