Hey guys,
Okay new simple desktop.
Asus M2N-MX-SE Motherboard
2Gb Kingston DDR2 (running in single channel mode)
Asus EAH3450 (ATI HD3450)
Running Hardy 8.0.4.1
Issues with the ATI propriety driver, if I install it and run with it, my desktop just freezes and thats it. I can reset back to not using the driver and it works fine, albiet slow.
Odd too because I've read reports on this topic stating it works fine, heh :) Run memcheck too and it comes up good!
Ubuntu 8.04
H.P. Deskjet F2180 all in one Prints,Scans and copies,no driver problems at all.:)
Works perfectly on Intrepid 64bit, video card was plug n play with nvidia drivers automatically installed.
MSI P7N SLI-FI 750i SLI Chipset LGA775
NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT 512MB 16X PCI Express
Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4GHz 1066FSB 8MB L2 Cache 64-bit
4gb PC6400 DDR2/800 Dual Channel Memory
Asus Eee PC 904 netbook
Ubuntu 8.04
All the basics worked after installation apart from ethernet and wireless. I had to download and install the latest Madwifi drivers and then enable them via System>Administration>Hardware Drivers to get the wireless working and it's working fine now. Ethernet is not working but I haven't tried to get it working yet.
I haven't tried connecting a display via the VGA port or using the microphone jack yet.
update: Audio jack works fine with headphones.
Canon iP2000 inkjet printer
Canon CanoScan LiDE20 flatbed scanner
Both of these just worked in both 7.10 and 8.04
No setup was necessary, I just connected them to the PC, and printing via all applications I tried and scanning via xscan worked fine.
Creative ZEN 8Gb
Didn't work automatically in 7.10, I found instructions here that worked.
Worked automatically in 8.04 just by plugging it in and opening Banshee to import songs.
Intrepid
XFX 8200 Mobo
Integrated sound and video
4GB DDR2 800
80Gig and 40Gig Drives
8200 chipset is a yet unsupported (xorg error log)
Everything works but grapphics will only boot into low graphics mode as not devices are detected.
nvidia driver can be be installed from CLI but it is unstable. Flicker, which appears to be an overlay of the background colour of the menu panel extending 2 thirds the way down the screen.
I am looking for a recommendation for a LCD Monitor that is compatible with the following configuration:
AMD Athelon 64 LE 1640 2.6 GHZ 45 watt L2-1MB AM2
AMD Athelon 64 original Stock Fan and Heat sink
Kingston DDR2 PC2-5400 1GN/667 MHz

NVIDIA GeForce 6150 GPU Memory share up to 512MB

Converted an Win98 system two days ago with 8.04 LTS Live CD. I knew the system well, I built it from parts back in 1990.
Intel SE440BX-2 Motherboard with Math Co-Processor installed next to Intel PIII 450Mhz CPU. 384 Ram (maxxed out)
Yamaha DS-XG built on the motherboard provides great sound.
ATI Rage Pro graphics card (release 6112) the stable one.
Seagate 6 Gig Hard Drive (that was as big as I could get back then... Yes it's slow.)
Memorex 48x CDR (burns DV-CDs)
and a
HP CD-writer Plus 9100 (burns CDs that even MS-DOS understands)
I have a brand new Linksys Ethernet card (there wasn't one originally)
And I have a old Creative ModemBlaster 56 II ISA voice/fax/modem.
It actually runs faster NOW than when I put it together.
Oh and as an added bonus I can actually get it to sync with MyPDA (an old Palm IIIe)
I never could get the call attendant software or the caller id to work on the modem (Now the caller ID works, but the fax will ONLY send not Receive.
I'm happy enough I might break down and buy a different modem (probably used because I need the older chipsets so they talk nice to my two MinoltaFax 's (the 2600 one is connected to a Netgear print server.)
Oh and I installed "wine" so I don't have to give up cold turkey on that huge library of Win98 software. http://ubuntuforums.org/images/smili...cornsmiley.gif

Denver 10 Motherboard
Intel E1200 Processor
Radeon x1950 Graphics card
2gb Ram (unsure of brand)
400 watt Power Supply
Only setting up i had to do was the graphics (its an ATI, no suprises hehe). Even then it took 2 minutes, if that, following the Ubuntu/ATI wiki.
Never had any problems what so ever, nice little setup.
