RAM for kde4?
does kde3.5 differ much in memory requirements from kde4?
i'm running kde4 on an old thinkpad with 256mb ram and everything is a little slow... rK |
KDE4 does require slightly more memory. What you can do is go to system settings and disable strigi and nepomuk.
|
what do strigi and nepomuk do? nothing essential, i guess...

256MB is on the small side for any full on GUI. You could try a lightweight gui like xfce, but if you can get more RAM, I would.

woohoo! I bought 512mb and everything flies! Now I have 767mb and when i click on a different desktop it just pops up! Imagine that!

As suggested before, try xfce - it will really speed it up:)

I've got a machine running Arch w/ XFCE and it's pretty damn good with only 256MB RAM. Compositing doesn't really work that well, but only because the graphics adapter in that machine is a crappy Intel integrated controller. Don't let that stop you from trying it, though...yours might be newer (and thus probably more capable of 3D compositing ;)).

I hated kde4 for about 4 days but now i love it. I'm running Pardus and I don't have the time right now to figure out its package management. It doesn't seem to be like any other... I wouldn't even know how to install xfce on pardus, but everything's working at the moment
