I'd love to- I've been looking for RD-RAM for about a year now. In
fact, just now I got this:

[dotancohen@localhost ~]$ limewire
GC Warning: Out of Memory!  Returning NIL!
Exception during runtime initialization
GC Warning: Out of Memory!  Returning NIL!
/usr/share/java-utils/java-functions: line 116:  5501 Aborted
       $JAVACMD $FLAGS -classpath $CLASSPATH $OPTIONS $MAIN_CLASS "$@"
[dotancohen@localhost ~]$ cat /proc/swaps
Filename                                Type            Size    Used    Priority
/dev/hda2                               partition       722916  41388   -1
[dotancohen@localhost ~]$

Does this also look like a RAM problem?

Dotan


Yeah, I was getting the occasional "out of memory" errors as well, even though the swap was fine. I was looking for some RD-RAM a while ago for an old Dell desktop, eventually bought some from ebay as nowhere else stocked it. That may be your best bet.

HTH,

Chris
