Thanks for the info.

I discovered that the Linux version, MEPIS, is already using most of the physical memory with about 27% of it as a disk cache, leaving about 16% free. With nothing else running, it's not using any swap file (virtual memory), LOL.

I sure would like to speed up that system, but I'm not sure how to do it. It's an off-brand box, X-Systems, using an FIC SD11 motherboard, 512 MB PC100 memory, & AMD K7 Thunderbird 500 Mhz CPU. I know it can be overclocked, but I'm not sure how or what to tweak. I don't use this system for anything but FAH, and it seems to be pretty slow compared to some of the like systems other FReepers are running.

If, anyone has any ideas, let me know.
Thanks,
RT

I'm not sure there is much you can do. CPU speed is what folding is all about and the so called optimizing tricks will produce next to nothing, IMHO. Yes, you can overclock if you enjoy that type of hobby, but at the end of the day it will be difficult to tweak this old of a system and get better results.

Suggest you leave it alone and just enjoy what points you get out of it.
