The biggest thing for me, is just stuff I don't use or ever see me needing. At one point, can't recall version, KDE4 was a bit of a memory hog. It seems they have cleaned that up a lot since tho. Even on my old rig which had 3GBs of ram and KDE3, it wasn't to bad on memory. CPU wise tho, I'd hate to run KDE4 on my old rig. It is just to slow for KDE4. Dale :-) :-)
