Hi All,

I installed CentOs on my PC (it has 1 GB of RAM). I see that only 200MB of RAM is being utilized on average but its very slow. Please let me know how do I improve the performance. Is there a way to set the RAM utilization/usage on CentOS.

Thank you

Take a look at:

/proc/sys/vm

Maybe you can check around on the net and see if you can tune thse parameters to help you?

What do you mean "only 200 MB is being utiltized"? How are you determining that?
