- I suggest a memory upgrade to 16+ MB. Executor is quite memory
- hungry, and it uses X, so the X server will take up memory too. To
- banish the swap daemon/demon a memory upgrade is a good idea. BTW, does
- your computer use 30-pin SIMMs or 72-pin SIMMS? If it's 30, you'll have
- to remove 4MB of RAM and buy 16 MB of ram (4MBx9 SIMMS) to go to 20 MB.
- For a 72-pin MB, you can just get an 8 MB simm to upgrade to 16. (Or,
- get 16 MB and go to 24 :)
-
- (Of course, a Pentium/90 with 16 or 24 MB or so will run Executor
- faster, but who can afford that :) Seriously, I run Executor on my
- DX2/66 just fine in 16 MB (just don't start many large xv processes).
-
- Good luck!
