Well, I downloaded a few games on steam and it seems to be working. "Don't Starve" works great, and "Portal" only slows down while it is still loading.
Thank you for your advice.

I get about 480 fps at fullscreen 1080p.
That seems decent, but is it what I should expect? I have seen much higher framerates posted from this program.
I followed those instructions, and got to the part where I test the installation. The output for fglrxinfo was:

Indeed. I've never known any personally who does, but I've known a few to tinker with it for fun.

Interesting.
The dip that I observed for "2 years old" last year seems to have moved to "3 years old" this year. This is what I was hoping for, as it shows some amount of consistency.

Looking at last year's poll, you had an inspiron 1420, like what I still have.
Sorry to hear of your loss, but congrats on the new one.

Fantastic, thank you.
I totally forgot to mention my system when I put up the poll!

Last year, I started a poll to see the age distribution of "primary" PC's on this forum.
These are the rules:

XFCE all the way.
I found unity to be far too resource-intensive for a desktop environment. A system with so much overhead ram usage reminded me of windows. I paid for a certain amount of ram in...
I feel your pain.
I loyally used ubuntu (full time) from 6.06 to 10.04. I sensed that the development was moving in a weird direction with the release of 10.10 and decided to wait it out in LTS. I...
Banned for using a non-LTS release yourself!
Yep, lubuntu 12.04 is not actually LTS.
I know what you mean, but if I do get one, I wouldn't want an iphone or android if I could get one from a company that lets people have a little more control.
And I'm probably going to need one...
This loaded for me.

Lol.
It was a countdown for a self-imposed accidental DDOS!
Looks like maybe this can be done with VLC?

What are your hardware specs?
What version of ubuntu are you trying to install?
Describe the error you are getting in better detail.
And welcome to the forums. I hope we can solve your problems.
Pompel9,
TRIM is fairly tested at this point. please look at the edit in my prior post.
Really, it's only disabled by default so users are aware that it is being used on their system, not...
I don't use ubuntu anymore (switched to debian) I have recently figured out this stuff for myself.
Here's my understanding:
TRIM is just a fancy set of rules that the PC will use when you write...
I am having the same problem described above, with the same hardware.

Nonsense. No need to recycle the PC yet.
Download Lubuntu. It will work.
