ilia_kr Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Hi there, i have some questions regurding my memory usage. I'm running Gnome 2.6 on a pretty slow mashine (see below) and that is what my system monitor shows: - sould swap space be partially full when i still got some room in RAM? - what is exact porpuse of swap? - the high peaks in cpu history => me moving a window, it can jump even up to 100%.

To get a more accurate account of memory usage run: $ free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
