Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69
my IBM T40 only has 512mb and it performs fine
I think what you're experiencing is you're running compiz. I just run using KDE
Yea, compiz is a dog on low to mid-range boxen.

I have run bt2 off of a laptop with 256K of ram. While I thought it was slow it worked.
You could take a look at what the system is doing with the memory by using some of the following.
This command will show you the current state of your system ram.Code:# cat /proc/meminfo
You can also have a look at the following command.
See the man page for free in order to learn more about the flags that you can set. One of the better ones to use is the -c count flag. This will auto update based on the time (in seconds) that you set. This would allow you to keep an eye on the memory usages while you do other tasks to help sort out what you may deem as a problem.Code:# free -k
Some other commands to look at for system performance would be
And of course you always have :Code:#vmstat #iostat
#leetmode
for that shiny gui feeling.

This is the list of commands to use and what they do. Not to long and dry as some info may be to some people.
Ohh and don't use the wireless manager it's garbage.
Use the command line, more likely to work and work correctly.
