capnkirby Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Not on MDK10, but I had 9.2 running on a K6/2 500 with no problems, other than being a bit pokey.... Capn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystified Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 I'm running it on my daughter's PII with 192 mbs ram. Works just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feralertx Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 I have a celeron 400 mhz with 320 mb ram and MDK 10.0 OE and it works fine, although i do not use neither kde nor gnome. I only access the pc via vnc with xfce and it runs smoothly, my guess is that with a 800 celeron, 10.0 should run without problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 (edited) I ran mandrake on a P2 300 with 160mb ram, Edited August 7, 2004 by iphitus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polemicz Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 I run it without any sluggishness on a 533Mhz PIII with 512Mb, a 700 MHz Athlon with 256, and a 700 MHz Pentium laptop with 128. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero0w Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 Celeron 800 should run OK. However, make sure you have enough main memory. 256 MB is probably the minimum you need in order to run KDE and other programs. More is better.

zero0w Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 (edited) I guess it can run KDE on 160MB but swapping will be very often. I would choose to run XFCE-4 with less memory configuration. Edited August 7, 2004 by zero0w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 y'know, to think i ran GNOME on that machine without a swap partition........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero0w Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 (edited) Wow, without swap partition. Firefox and OpenOffice.org will take quite a chunk of memory. Can they still run together for sometime without Swap? BTW, KDE is more memory hungry than GNOME I believe. And nVidia Linux driver bites another bit out of them.

iphitus Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 I use Abiword, i find it much nicer than OOo. I didnt use OOo much at all iphitus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero0w Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 I see. That's another approach to reduce memory requirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowator Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 the point being yep the celery will be fine but if you wanna use all the bells and whistles together then more RAM is better.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
