[KLUG Members] Memory problems

[Alan DeJong]

First off before my question, I am running redhat 7.2 on P3 800mHz, 256 MB of
ram on my laptop. Now, when i got into the memory information program it only
says i have 223.31 megs of ram, and that i only have 4.51 megs free.  This
doesnt seem normal to me.  Second, whenever i try to play a game such as Tux
racer, or any other graphic heavy game, it is SOOOOO slow..  i have to kill the
process to get it to exit.  Any suggestions?
