    Hmmm,

    Well, it was just taking a REALLLLLY long time to do thing, no actual
    lockup as such. I did have no loopback, which incidentally caused
    problems with my digital tv card streaming, but I still had the problem
    after I configured the loopback. Having said that I am new at all this
    so I guess it's possible that loopback was still not working correctly.
    I'll have to thoroughly test the RAM I guess.

    Interestingly, I still have problems with playback of mpg video files in
    xine. It's VERY slow, like slow motion. I have the latest ATI driver
    installed and everything else seems ok. Are there things I can try to
    improve this performance?

    Thanks again.

    Freezes forever, or just takes a realllllllllllllllllllllly long time to
    do
    anything? I did a Sarge installation that somehow left me with no
    working lo
    interface, and KDE was an unusable dog until I fixed that. It didn't
    freeze
    though, and the system was otherwise usable. It just took for fscking
    EVER
    to do anything.

    I agree with the other people. If you're getting a real freeze, it's
    almost
    certainly your hardware. 256 MB of RAM is sufficient to run several
    instances of KDE on a terminal server box, so that's not likely your
    problem.
