Hi All,
I'm a total n00b to Linux however I've successfully installed 8.04 and have compiled XBMC and it works!
What my question is though is this..
I used a P4 1.8GHz originally 512MB RAM but found another 128MB Stick that I threw in so a total 640MB it has onboard graphics (I did try an old Geforce MX400 but it killed my install with the drivers)
The XBMC GUI runs like a dream and plays music fine but if I set a Visualisation it will cause a lot of jittering so I checked the System info and noticed that there is approx 5MB available - the rest is in use.
I know the quick fix for this is more memory but when I checked my XBMC on my XBOX this only uses about 32MB RAM so I thought what is using up all that memory.
Can anyone else share how much memory they are using or advise if there is anything I can do to slim down the memory usage?
Many Thanks
Ryan
