Hello!
You will verify on your system the mode DMA.

hdparm /dev/hda

The variable using_dma must be stay on "1 (on)"

I am so think!

That's only if he has IDE drives. SCSI is much faster.

safwatonline,
1GB or more I would say is good.

Re: hardware requirment

safwat,
he has saying to check to make sure you're IDE (ATA) subsystem is operating with direct memory access (DMA). This can speed up reads and writes to the hard disks. This can speed up your application if it's using a lot swap space.

Go to a root prompt and type:

/sbin/hdparm /dev/hda

If you have IDE disks, it will show you if you DMA enabled or not.
Run hdparm on whatever disk the swap space is located, and / and your IC application.

P4 2.4 GHz processor should be enough, check your OS or other APP slow or fast
