If you run X 4.1.0, KDE 2.2 & turn on Anti-aliased fonts, I *guarantee* you'll start cursing up a storm. It makes K just unusably slow. A previous writer mentioned that 256MB PC133 SDRAM DIMMs (wow, say that 5 times when you're drunk!) are only US$30. You could pile in 768MB RAM for US$100 (incl. S/H) !! -- Mon Sep 3 22:23:10 2001 Seq.
