Check your /etc/sysconfig/harddisks file and change it to enable HDD DMA. I'm running a similar system here at the office, (But with 512MB ram) and it runs very quickly. Having the DMA enabled will decrease the apps load time. Hope this helps, Wolf -----Original Message----- From: Joe D.

My apps seem to run quickly on Windows, but slowly under Linux. The problem seems to be anything gui. Text apps run under Gnome-terminal whiz along, once the window is open. A long text search/replace runs quickly. But anything else is slow. OpenOffice takes a looong time to load. Switching tasks is slow on just about everthing. When I hit the send/receive button in Evolution 1.2, it may take several seconds to respond. It doesn't seem to matter much how many programs are open, one or many. Evolution, OpenOffice, and Netscape get tired and crash every once in a while. Anything I might try? Thanks, -- Joe D.
