Well i can say for sure that when i load mythfrontend using blootube wide it
takes a good 250mb of RAM.

I have a Gig of ram but a 128mb is allocated to my video card.  so i have
about 870mb for system memory.

I will rebuild my box on my 8gig drive and see if that helps.  if that
doesn't fix it should i go more memory (1 or 2 gig) or video card?

Thanks,
Mitchell
