highly depends on what your doing. My experience suggests that this is not abnormal. while at work I used to do a lot of intensive work in X and it would quickly jump to 100MB usage, then over a few weeks get to about 250MB at which point I would log out and restart X to free up resources(it would get noticiably slower until I restarted). keep in mind that the memory usage shown includes the memory on the video card. I am not sure if it includes *ALL* memory on the card or only the memory it is using(I think only memory it is using). I just checked my desktop here and it is using a rather obscene amount of memory, X is at 297MB[1]. and Its only been 3 days since I last restarted it. Haven't done anything too out of the ordinary either..*shrug* thats what 768MB of ram is for :) maybe I should turn on a swap partition. nate 7233 root -9 -10 297M 41M 5900 S < 0.0 5.4 35:30 XFree86 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
