Seems abnormal, I'm using a 64bit amd machine, with 151 active processes including, evolution, kde4 (with the plazmoids )and Opera web browser as well as a full systray full of gadgets (hplip, tomboy, updater, etc) I'm using .55 gig of a 4 gig available RAM. It might be worth opening a monitor application and see what's taking up all the ram. Good luck, Regis On Tue, 2009-06-23 at 14:28 -0400, Boris Epstein wrote:
Hi all,
I've got a bunch of 64-bit Intel-based machines which I am slowly upgrading to OpenSuSE 11.1/KDE4.2 whatever. Some of those machines (quite a few, in fact) only have 1 GB of RAM. At 1 GB, or even at 2 GB, it seems like just starting the machine up and logging into it is enough to pretty much eat up all the RAM making the machine start swapping and go slow. Some programs would even not start or start crashing (whether that is RAM-related or not I don't know but machines with 3 GB or RAM or not do seem more stable).
Hence the question: is this normal? Is the OS simply configured for larger RAM configurations? Or am I doing something in a grossly inefficient or erroneous way?
Thanks for voicing your opinion.
Boris.
