hi,<br><br>I'm using an old computer and I couldn't use Ubuntu, Kubuntu & Xubuntu live CDs till Memory was upgraded. I am talking about Ubuntu 5.1, Kubuntu 6.xx and Xubuntu 6 (For All these even the Installed version with 256 MB Swap space is a bit sluggish on my P3 500Mhz Computer. Suggetions to improve performance will be welcome.
<br><br>p.s. These Distributions are sluggish only when it comes to boot up and program loading times. after that i dont find much of a difference when running a single desktop app... but when i deplay a simple apache server alongside (Not much requests comming in coz it's my testing server) I have to wait for ages to get my work done.

One of my machines was using a P2 300 MHz on a i810 chipset Motherboard. The P3 500Mhz was using an older i440Bx chipset. Suprisingly i found that the P2 system gave a greates Read/Write speed to The RAM.... So we must consider the chipset when we are testing ram intensive applications like a lIve CD..
