I actually would plan on using OOo a lot if I had the memory available -- it's unusable on this laptop since I only have 128MB. Takes over two minutes just to load, and another minute every time I want to click something. http://blogs.gentoo.org/nightmorph/2006/10/13/new_box_1#c18297 Fri, 13 Oct 2006 10:04:21 +0000 Bas de Bakker [Visitor] c18296@http://blogs.gentoo.org/ For what I do, having more than 2 GB definitely helps. I run Eclipse and often several 64-bit server JVMs for testing. I have 3 GB of RAM and at this moment, it's using 1.5 GB of swap space.<br /> <br /> For compiling the usual Gentoo packages, even with -j3, 1 GB is plenty.

I have never emerge-compiled multiple software in parallel though as I have got only a single processor.<br /> <br /> Nice configuration!
