Well, it has been a long day. I spent $35 on 2GB of RAM, as I noticed that the 64-bit system uses about 75% more memory than the same 32-bit system. What is absolutely phenomenal is the REAL speed improvement. I noticed it the moment I rebooted: the system was snappier, but that can be subjective. When I did some rpm updates, however, I could not believe how quickly the hash marks flew across the screen, and when I did a full system update, yum scrolled so fast that I was often at a loss to keep up with the speed of the list scrolling on the screen. I had always thought that my hard drive was limiting the speed. When I rebooted, I stepped away from the desk and happened to check over my shoulder, only to notice to my surprise that the kdm login screen was already there! There is no doubt that this has sped up this computer manifold. After only a few hours, this seems like an entirely new machine. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
