I put Linux on an old laptop, and since it's a PowerPC iBook everything was quite out of date. I needed an updated GCC and so had to compile it from scratch. I had it compiling GCC for 4 days before I got the more RAM with no end in sight, and after interrupting the process and starting from scratch the process completed in only 2 days.
Conclusion: RAM is cheap for older machines, max them out! The performance booster can be significant! |
