I'm loving my new Dell i8200 notebook computer, and adding 512MB to the
stock 128MB was a HUGE improvement, however I'm noticing that while
WindowsXP (home) seems to just fly along and IE opens up quickly,
Outlook running all the time, trillian, HomeSite, etc...
The RedHat 8.0 side of things is pokey as hell. Just having mozilla
running takes like a minute for it to load?! Then if I add in "Quanta"
or "Star Office", forget it. I got this to be a mobile workstation so
that I could get my PHP/mySQL coding done anywhere. But as it stands,
it's not working out so well that way. It takes too long to do anything.
It's embarrassing. I thought that Microsoft was always writing bloated
software, but now I'm starting to doubt that. I could add another 512MB
RAM (it's only like $175), but I'm not sure that is the problem, is it?
Why wouldn't 684MB on a 2.0Ghz P4 be more than enough for what I'm
doing?
Suggestions? I've already reduced the amount of RAM that mySQL uses and
Apache uses, but I don't know what else to do.
