*blush* yes, I guess that's a hard one to have figured on using in
Google (grammer police are probably wincing).  Thanks!  That site has a
ton of good info and most importantly links to other good sites to
compare/learn/etc.

I will take everyone's advice and buy more memory.  It's cheap enough
that I'll probably figure out how much this can handle (
www.tomshardware.com or www.anandtech.com ) and max it.  This may be a
dumb question, but since swap is usually larger than memory should I try
to tweak my file partitions to adjust the swap to a larger slice?  I've
never tried, but I know re-adjusting file partitions can get tricky and
is inherently dangerous.  I'll probably not do it, but thought I'd ask.
