Comment 14 for bug 820881

SoW - it varied in timing but I don't think I ever made it 12 hours - 2 hours max I'd say... sometimes almost immediately - but it would always be when I was maxing my mem-usage

I'm pretty new to this ... I tried rebooting, holding shift to enter the grub loader & editing it by adding a line "set mem=512M" but that didn't seem to take, according to my system monitor which still registers 2.5G - I'd be more than happy to try again, but would you be willing to give me a bit more specific instruction as how to do it, I'd be grateful :) ?
