Memory Upgrade - Muahahahahah!

So I went with Ofer to buy more memory on Monday. As it turned out I was a bit distracted and for the first time he had to park his car and wait for me a little. We drove to the store, and bought the memory units there - 2 of 1 GB. I asked for a receipt and got it. Then when I said my name, someone overheard me, and it turned out he knew me from the Israeli FOSS Internet, and from Haifux. We chatted a bit and then parted.

During the evening, I tried to install the memory modules myself, but it didn't work at first, so my father helped me and we were successful. 2.5 GB RAM in total, excluding the 1 GB swap, out of 4 GB, which is the board's maximal amount of RAM. Now, everything feels more snappy - it takes less than a minute to start a new konsole window or a gvim window, and I can probably run some Java applications without making my system completely unresponsive.

On a slightly different note, I went to the records' store in the Ramat Aviv Mall, and bought the CD "Explosive - the best of bond". It's pretty good.
