KDE user here too. =8^) I use ksysguard in the panel, with 4 CPU |
| 11 |
monitors, one for each of my dual cores on each of my Opteron 290s. It's |
| 12 |
quite useful, as user/system/nice is broken out on each one, and I have |
| 13 |
portage set to nice 19, so I can monitor how much it's using vs. other |
| 14 |
things (a lot of X updating the screen with konsole, particularly with |
| 15 |
composite turned on, somewhat less with quadkonsole, which seems to be a |
| 16 |
bit more CPU efficient but with fewer bells and whistles, particularly |
| 17 |
per session when one is running more than one). |

The dual 290s have certainly met and passed my expectations, with things |
| 20 |
running much smoother when multitasking than the dual 242s I was running |
| 21 |
before. With 8 gig of memory to go with it and quad drives in md/ |
| 22 |
RAID-0/1/6, I've no reason at all to complain about performance or want |
| 23 |
more ATM. I'm a happy camper! =8^) |

The next upgrade is my eyes, Lasik, then back to the computer for dual |
| 26 |
flat-panels and a GPU upgrade as the prices on high resolution hopefully |
| 27 |
continue to fall. |
