Hi Richard, |

First of all, thanks for replying. I'll test the swap partition |
4 |
with the command you sent. But how do I test the memory? Is there any |
5 |
way to do it? I think I configured CMOS to do a memory check during |
6 |
start up. |

|

Also, I'm using -march=i686 -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer, since I |
9 |
don't know if a higher value is compatible with my AMD Sempron. |
