<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV class=RTE>Hey everyone. I need to ask a question to the linux gurus. I have a server up. Red Hat linux 9, Pentium 4 3ghz, 128mb RAM (yeah i know not very much - provided by host - I'm limited because of finances). It's 32 slots. 5 of them are private. It is full right now. I'm on a OC192 backbone. Bandwidth rocks. But lag is experienced some. What is the recommended amount of RAM? At first I had 64megs of RAM. Heavy swap usage maxed out RAM. Then I went up to 128megs of RAM and here is what the top command shows.</DIV>

<DIV class=RTE>When I had 64megs of RAM it had about the same - 70-80%. I go to 128megs and full loaded server and it's the same? Neways, can someone tell me what to do? Do I need more RAM or is that just how the server runs? Thanx.</DIV>
