Nonetheless, I think that's your only real option. If you're that low on
RAM, then you'll constantly be tearing through swap. In technical terms,
your computer is going nuts.
OTOH, I understand student budgets. If your system is that low-end, then
you can probably upgrade to a whole new computer for less than what you'd
pay for RAM. I'd say that about 2 trips to your local plasma donation
center can probably get you a used Celeron system with 128MB of RAM.
