celeron 800, is it too low to run mdk 10.0?

I use Abiword, i find it much nicer than OOo. I didnt use OOo much at all

i gave abiword a try, but if i want to write scientific texts, then abiword fails to do the job, so i have to use, big, bulky Oo.

That configuration should be enough (that is 320 [three hundred and twenty] megabytes of memory, right?)

 

I mean.. I tried Mandrake 10 on a P3-450 -128 MB of RAM and it runs kde ok.. just a bit slow.

Y'know, i think that was a Yes, you can run mandrake on it.

I'm running mandy 9.2 on a celeron 667, runs fine, but with 10.0 it goes soo slow...literally took 2-3 minutes to load up firefox.

and that's with 320MB SDRAM FYI and about 5 gigs of swap :P

If you've got less than 2 gigs of swap there's no way...lol

I think you'll be fine cause I run Xandros on an AMD 900 on my moms comp.

 

I'd recommend using a Swap Partition and maybe using any DE/WM but KDE, cause that one is very memory intensive.

Celeron 800, 320MB memory

 

Anyone has hardware as low as this to run Mdk 10.0? and how is the performance?

 

Thanks.

Had problems loading it though , everything went okay ,then went to log in and it seems only grub and bash worked. So reloaded 9.1 and then loaded 10 via the upgrade option, worked fine ,but i assume using the 2.4 kernel , rather than the 2.6
