Damm i got 755 mb of ram yes its not the best memory availible but i dont think that Gentoo should take about 400 of it in X what the heck??? Does anyone has any ideas? My mothers xp is taking less and she is only using 256 mb of same crap memory

| unless you are having problems with applications being paged out to the swap file too often then using as much ram as possible is a good thing... whats the point of ram if its going to be empty all the time? |

Use the 'free' command to determine how many MBs are actually in use  |
