Instead of adding more, can you replace what's there with something more dense? 20MB usually turns out to be 4MB on the motherboard and an add-in 16MB. According to a quick Google search, the CDS 520 has two memory slots that can support up to 64MB (68 total with the 4MB onboard). http://www.memoryx.net/pc6-1629.html Pull out the two 8MB sticks you have in there now, stuff in two 16MB sticks. Be happy! >Compaq Presario CDS 520 is "all-in-one" (monitor+computer together in one >case), obsolete, but ideal for router or sometring like that. Not with that little RAM. If it has a hard drive, you =could= build a FreeBSD kernel with swapping turned on, but that would not be a project for a beginner (and I suspect it would make the GUI very slow). >Now my m0n0wall is runnig on Celeron 333MHz + 128MB RAM + 3xNIC PCI >(WAN,LAN,OPT1). I think, that 128MB RAM is unduly luxury. Is good idea to >decrease amount of RAM to 32MB ? I try this and it seems be OK, but I don't >know minimum/recommended/optimal size of RAM. 32MB is enough. I don't know about where you live, but at the moment here in the USA, RAM is cheap enough to not worry about it. -crl -- Chad R.
