Dear friends,
I'm almost happy with the latest 64bits version of the FreeBSD, almost...
I have a Pentium E5700 with 2GB RAM (2x1GB 667MHz DDR2) (all donation =p) and I note that everything eats a little more of RAM (64bit system?). Right now, XFCE 4.10 with Deadbeef, Terminal and various tabs in Firefox are eating ~80% of all my RAM.
Usually I need to use all this plus Virtualbox with a Windows 7 or GIMP+Inkscape.
This way my system is going to blow (or use swap intensely) right?
I was thinking in go to the 32bits version, but I compile all my programs, and comments says that exists a significantly difference in compiling performance.
So what the friends suggest? Since I think in add the /tmp to tmpfs too.
Buy more RAM? (How much?) Or should I go be happy within 32bits system?
(I'm asking because large capacities of DDR2 RAM are a little expensive for me. [any donation?!] =x)
Cheers.
