well, how much total physical RAM do you have? How much swap? How
much swap is being used?

And of course, how fast is your CPU?


I think he said Celeron (doesn't that mean slow as celery, i.e.
low-power?), 256 MB and no swap.

Something:
If you don't have a spare partition for swap, you may want to try a swap
file. There are things in memory that on a system with swap get swapped
out when memory gets tight that aren't used much anyway. Having a swap
file would free up memory for your applications.

You can also use top to see what apps specifically are hogging the
memory.

Inside 'top' press O (yes, upper case) and then "n" to order the list
according to memory usage.
