I have installed an FC6 on my AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+.
As I have 1 Gb of RAM, I decided not to create a partition swap as I thought it was quite enough to run my system.
Most of the time that works quite good but sometimes my computer freezes (unable to type anykey, to move the mouse or even to switch to a text console) and there are a lot of reads on my harddisk. The only solution I have is to reboot my computer.
It seems this happens mainly when almost all my RAM is used (and with 2 users on the computer executing firefox, the RAM is quite used after a few hours of surf).
Do you think that this problem can be solved by adding a swap partition ? (I'd like to avoid this as I will need to reduce the existing one to create it and this kind of operations are quite risky).
