Memory Issues

["Poletti, Don" <don poletti comverse-in com>]

I'm having performance problems on my machine and I'm 99%
sure its due to memory issues. I have 64Megs of Ram. But when
I run Galeon or Mozilla My machine starts swapping like mad 
and changing windows talks 5 seconds or more. Using Gtop
I found that Galeon uses 80megs and Mozilla 0.6 was using
130Megs! In both cases that was just to launch and display 
Google's home page. No wonder my machine was crawling.

What are my alternatives. I find this very annoying since
IE does need nearly so much ram so this makes Linux/Gnome
crawl compared with windows running on the same hardware doing
similar tasks.

While I'm on a rant it look likes XMMS takes like 10-15 megs
Is it just me or does this seem way excessive.

This will effectively keep me from using Linux/Gnome since
it less than half the speed of windows on my machine.
