As for 4GB RAM? I'm asking because for 3 years or maybe more, I have failed BIG TIME to fully use 2GB RAM :D I do have another PC which is P4 with 2GB RAM. I just managed to fully use my 512MB RAM :D heheh That is why I'm wondering what could happen if someone has 4GB RAM? unless he is a heavy user, perhaps zRAM will start working. Otherwise, that user won't need to use zRAM nor SWAP at all :D as long as his RAM is not full yet.

I'm typing this from Core i5 with 4GB RAM and I have failed to use all my RAM and my SWAP is always empty but I do have a swap :D -- *Remember: "All of us are smarter than any one of us." *Best Regards, amjjawad <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/amjjawad> - StartUbuntu Project<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/CommunicationsTeam/WOWLubuntu/StartUbuntu> - Linux Brainstorming <https://www.facebook.com/groups/352004991569676/> - Mubuntu<http://amjjawad.blogspot.com/2013/07/draft-mubuntu-simple-minimal-system.html> Peppermint <http://peppermintos.com/about/> - Ubuntu GNOME<http://ubuntugnome.org/>- Xubuntu <http://xubuntu.org/>
