I use a Averatec the processor not sure when I went into the dos mode or whatever it is called the boot screen said select delet button to bring it up. I found it has something close to 450 mb in the ram department about 360 in the virtual. I do not consider myself a power user just a curious tinkerer. But, anyway the linux I use is ubuntu 7.10 I belive. I found out now that this from "ubuntu daily" don't quote me. I have been on this quest to find a version that would work on the laptop/notebook. The google chrome/ubuntu combo dvd did not boot right. I saw a black screen with alot of computer language that lost me, not to mention being out of $17 for dvd. I tried to upload picture here but had a problem to help in desribing the kind of pc I have. I can't get wifi net, the wifi light lights up on the screen it says I have conectivity but, the browser still says I am offline. HELP PLEASE!!!!!

Darolu,
So how well does Debian 5 run on that old machine?
Have you tried using Ubuntu on it? As you probably know, Debian runs faster, and uses fewer resources than any of the *buntus.
I am just curious to see if you have tried Ubuntu on the P3 and how Ubuntu's performance compared to Debian on that old machine.

Oh, and FYI... I was running "vanilla" Ubuntu 10.4, but kept having the low graphics boot-up issue (and tried to resolve it with help from here, but to no avail). Been running Ultimate 2.7 for 3 days and have not seen the low graphics mode issue at boot-up since the switch (for those with the same laptop).

Dont believe the rated MHz on DDR. To make it sound a lot faster than normal SD RAM, they lied. DDR1 (and all the other types of DDR) use 'doubled' MHz, so 1445MHz is probably running at 722.5MHz.

You can check that with lshw, it (should) tell you the real data rate.

I have; it was the best DDR2 I could find (though I rarely use it at top speed) but I had to pay for it.
You are correct about how they rate the speeds now; cheating I call it.

My laptop is an Acer Extensa 5230E, which is to say when it came out of the box it was saddled with 2GB of RAM, a 160GB HD, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, and a 2.2GHZ Celeron 900 processor. It was painful. I have upgraded since and now have a 2.1GHz Pentium Dual Core T4300 processor and 3GB of memory. I must say the best upgrade yet was moving from 7HP64 to Ubuntu 10.04 AMD64.

I have been running this for close to 24 hours straight with one reboot to install the first set of update packages and my only concerns now are minor. My CPU temp is staying in the high 50Cs. I can cool it to 47C by placing a fan directly at the bottom of the laptop for a few minutes. But 57C-58C is typical. Compare this to the 67C I was pulling at idle and the 72C I got under load in Windows. Windows throttled CPU output because it kept getting so hot. No such thing happening now, but I will watch the little AWM dock and if it goes over 67C. I'm tempted to get a little USB-powered fan and tape it under the laptop to force air into the case.

Yes, that is exactly what I meant. It works okay for normal work until 4.3 but is iffy in stability tests above 4.0.

It also depends on cooling though, and I am using a $43 cooler of a cheap heatsink and two cheap fans. Water cooling should be able to really change that, I think

Welcome to the Ubuntu forums!!

That sounds like a nice system. So how is that Foxconn Motherboard anyway? Has it worked well for you? Have you installed Ubuntu on it at all? If so then were there any problems with linux compatibility?
I have always just used Asus, Gigabyte, or Asrock boards.

BTW, you can read hardware reviews for linux here: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=home
Phoronix has a forum as well. They also have the Phoronix Test Suite, which is a system benchmarking application for linux.

I must say It works like a dream. I actually plan on getting Windows 7 and doing tri SLI with a card for physx in the 4th slot. I've not installed Ubuntu on it yet as the hard drives are an absolute cluster (Censored for your viewing pleasure) and need to be replaced with larger ones.](*,)After I clear that up i'll be doing a tri-boot system with Ubuntu.

I do have an ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe board that i'll be using as a Linux box.:D

After upgrading the RAM to 2GB, I've had nary a regret about doing everything from a netbook. Mine's pure Ubuntu - even if my Windows install had survived my install after a bad trip with Netbook Remix, I'd have nuked it for the space by now. Thirty-two gigs is very tiny. = |

Intel Atom, obviously.

I do have an ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe board that i'll be using as a Linux box.:D

I am using both Ubuntu 10.10 and Slackware 13.1 on the Asus M2N SLI-Deluxe. There are no problems at all using linux on that motherboard. Write back if you do need any help with installing linux on it. It should go just fine for you though.

Issues installing Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
Had to disable IDE interface to CDRom (old CDRom hardware) would hang the installation trying to initialize the CDRom. When I disabled the IDE interface I did not have to set any of the bootable options for installing Ubuntu, e.g. ACPI, etc. Right now I am currently running Ubuntu without IDE interface. I would venture to guess that if I installed a newer CD/DVDRom with SATA or USB interface I would not have the problems I had installing Ubuntu.

Asus EeeBox 1501P - HTPC with dual core Atom, ION and 2GB ram
Custom built stationary - This one I use for most things. It has Gigabyte microATX motherboard, Intel Core i5, 4GB ram, AMD Radeon HD5770

Then I have two big fulltowers containing a lot of goodies, one with Phenom and one with i5. These ones I'm going to sell soon however.

And then I have two other laptops.

Desktop 1:
HP Pavilion P6710f
CPU: AMD Athlon II x4 640 @ 3.00GHz
RAM: 4GB
HDD: 1TB
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
My thoughts: I absolutely hate it with every fiber of my being. Most definitely the worst impulse purchase i've made so far. I only use it for games (Not even a gamer, girlfriend is.) and for Windows only apps. Otherwise i never touch it.

Desktop 2:
Dell Dimension 8300
CPU: Intel Pentium 4 @ 2.4Ghz
RAM: 1GB
HDD: 250GB primary, 60GB slave
OS: Elementary OS Jupiter
My thoughts: That's the current OS it has. Since i seem to change it every single day. Dont like how Mac-like eOS is. If i want a Mac i'll buy one (And i will eventually, gonna switch to OS X for my main computer purposes for good soon). I wanna put something unique on this and Unity and Gnome 3 seem to be the only thing that fits that case. They both have issues with this computer and i dislike how every Linux distro rips off every other Linux distro ever (I know that's the nature of free and open source but i don't like that, so there.).

Ideally i would sell both of these and replace them with Macs. But i cant imagine anyone paying even half of what these costs me so i might as well keep them.

Well, since the OP asked about main computer, I voted Intel. My desktop is my main computer, and runs an older Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 (I can upgrade to the strongest Core 2 Quads, no problem).

My netbook, however, runs an AMD "Nile" V105 (stronger than any single-core Atom)

That's all I know.... I don't know how to check on Ubuntu. Help anyone?

And browser wise - Mozilla Firefox (lol Firefox doesnt think either are words!!!) for most things. and Google Chrome for Chrome games, things I want to do REALLY fast and some plug-ins.

Apparently (lack of brown little dot on the envelope) I never posted here.

Specs are in my sig. Honestly though, I should've gone with an Intel i5 laptop with a good graphics card and base speed of at least 2.5 GHz. We'll see in 5 years.

I've got an old Compaq SR1417CL box. ASUS K8S-LA Salmon board. It came with a AMD Sempron 3000+ running at 1.8Ghz. It now has an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ running at 2.2 Ghz stock, it can be OC'd. I have 2GB of DDR ram, Nvidia FX 5600 AGP 8x graphics card replaces the onboard SiS 760 Mirage 2 that is not Linux supported. I have a 120 GB Seagate 7200 rpm IDE UDMA100 Primary HD..I have a 40GB Western Dig slower IDE Secondary Drive. Ubuntu 11.10 on the Primary, Windows XP Home sp3 on the secondary. Optical drive is a Liteon DVDRW double layer....It ain't new or particularly powerful but it runs Ubuntu really well and I use Firefox and Chromium...Both are fast. Firefox on the XP side....:P

It's an old Gateway thing (bought in maybe 2006? Can't remember...) Crashes sometimes; has tons of cat fur sucked inside by the fan; works OK with Oneiric Ocelot and Windows whatever.

I own one computer. I own an ASUS N61JV-X2 notebook PC. I upgraded it by purchasing Crucial 8 gigabytes of DDR3 1,066 MHz SDRAM and an Intel 2nd Generation 34nm MLC NAND FLASH X25-M 160 gigabyte Solid State Drive. I also purchased a Seagate FreeAgent Desk 1.5 terabyte USB 2 external hard disk drive and I recently purchased a Kingston DataTraveler HyperX 128 gigabyte Super Speed USB 3 thumb drive. I performed a custom installation of Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit using full disk encryption with LUKS/LVM (AES-CBC mode 256 bits SHA-256). I use TrueCrypt to protect my Seagate hard drive and Kingston USB 3 thumb drive (AES-XTS mode 256 bits SHA-512).

I use Google Chrome as my primary web browser because it's super fast and super secure especially on Ubuntu GNU/Linux.

ASUS N61JV-X2 notebook PC specifications:
Intel Core i5-430M CPU
Nvidia GeForce GT 325M GPU
Intel HD Graphics
Nvidia Optimus
Super Speed USB 3
2X USB 2 ports
ExpressCard/34
e-SATA
Gigabit Ethernet
Dual Band 802.11 B/G/N Wi-Fi
16" LCD 1366 X 766 resolution widescreen
keyboard
touch pad
Headphone and microphone jack
Intel 2nd Generation 2.5" 34nm MLC NAND FLASH X25-M 160 gigabyte Solid State Drive
Crucial 8 gigabytes DDR3 PC-8500 1,066 MHz SDRAM
Bang & Olufson Speakers
2.0 megapixel web camera
Super-Multi Dual Layer DVD burner and CD burner drive
6.0 pounds

I think that it is a premium notebook PC especially with the Intel SSD. Ubuntu is super fast and secure on my computer.

My main computer is an eMachines T1110 desktop (mid-2001) that I got as a hand-me-down from my grandfather in late May 2003 when he got sick of using it, but it's also been upgraded multiple times over the last almost 9 years.

Browser-wise, I switched to Firefox in mid-2004 and haven't looked back. I've played with Opera on occasion and I have Chrome installed for some stuff that I'm currently undecided about using on Windows, and as a backup option on Ubuntu.

The original configuration:
TriGem Anaheim-3 motherboard
1GHz Celeron Coppermine processor
256 MB of PC-133 SDRAM
Onboard Intel i810E graphics
USB 1.1
5400rpm 30GB Seagate IDE hard drive
2.1 Altec Lansing speakers (which must have been a premium upgrade option, because these speakers are nice)
17" (I think it was 17") CRT flatscreen monitor
Standard-style (non-ergonomic) keyboard
Standard mouse
Samsung CD-RW drive
56k modem card

Upgrades done:
An additional DVD-ROM drive I took out of a Compaq we were getting rid of. It got replaced with a Lite-ON DVD+/-RW drive a couple years later. A couple years later the writing abilities of the Lite-ON failed, so I do my DVD burning on either my parents' iMac or on my grandparents' computer (it still reads DVDs and DVD+/-Rs fine, except for DVD+/-R DL discs; commercial dual-layer discs read fine, it's just the burnt ones it doesn't like). The CD-RW still works fine for burning.

Replaced the mouse with a Microsoft optical wheel mouse. I was sick of having to clean the mouse ball.

Modem card removed and replaced with Ethernet card.

USB 2.0 expansion card

80 GB 7200rpm Seagate IDE drive, housed in drive enclosure

Removed the 30GB main drive and replaced it with a 160 GB 7200rpm Seagate IDE drive. The 30GB now sits in another enclosure and stores a portion of my digital music collection.

Put in another 256 MB stick of PC-133 SDRAM to max the mobo out to 512 MBs (required some work to find the right BIOS upgrade to get it to properly use the extra stick, though).

GeForce 6200 graphics card, PCI because I have no AGP ports

Another 17" CRT flatscreen I got as a hand-me-down from my grandfather when he got a new LCD flatpanel for their new computer. I had both CRTs hooked to the 6200 for a while. The original monitor started having problems retaining its reds (in the aftermath of me upgrading the graphics card, and judging from the state of the connector, I think I might have damaged the plug during the process of getting it to work with the card), so it was moved to a secondary position and then eventually I just stopped using it for the time until I can get it fixed. The new 17" was used for a good 7 or 8 months, and then something happened to it, rendering it unusably blurry (so again, I need to get it fixed). I had to switch to the old monitor again for a little bit, then my uncle let me use a 15" LCD that actually goes with the computer my cousin left at their house (my only issue with it is that it's limited to a maximum of 1024x768; the CRTs could go up to 1280x1024, which was better on my eyes when I needed to read things).

The original power supply blew out in August 2005, so I replaced it. The replacement blew out in June 2010, and I once again replaced it.

While I did buy a full retail copy of XP Pro just before it stopped being sold, I don't use it on this setup (which came with XP Home on its restore discs). It'll likely go on whatever new computer I end up building myself, at least as an interim until I can afford a copy of Win7 Pro, or as a triple-boot.

Ubuntu has taken up its own partition starting at 5.10 with only one period of absence for 2 or 3 versions due to a monitor issue I finally figured out a solution for with 8.10.

I think that's it, aside from some flash drives, a USB 2.0 7-port hub, and a PlayStation 2->USB adapter so I can use the controller for games.
