You'd be surprised how techies think. I was sent obsolete material free once. Take a chance....

Try booting into Ubuntu Classic or Ubuntu 2D to see if that makes a difference. Those are options when you click on the Ubuntu logo before signing in. You might automatically be on a modern card...

I would contact Nvidia and explain my problem. They might suggest a particular driver that works with this card. Once again, good luck.

Check for proprietary drivers in Ubuntu Software Center. This might also help: http://www.howopensource.com/2012/10/install-nvidia-geforce-driver-in-ubuntu-12-10-12-04-using-ppa/
Good luck!

I have Ubuntu 12.04 running on a Pentium III, so you're good to go. Run the live CD and you'll see how the system behaves. Good luck.

Excellent previous comments. I've done it many times without any problems. Your old atom box might just need a new power supply if your hard drive still works.

If downloading from Youtube, in Firefox, go to Tools, Add-ons, Search for "Videodownloader". The first option works well for me. If not, upload to Youtube and follow same procedure. This is the...

Go ahead. This here machine is a Dell Dimension L800r that used to run Windows ME. It now has Ubuntu 10.04 or Lucid Lynx. You can see the specs to the right. You'll need more than 256 MB of RAM...

I have recently installed Lucid Lynx on an old Thinkpad A30p. Built in 1997. I upgraded the memory to 1 gig (rare for a machine in those days). It works flawlessly and is very fast. Connected through...

Just google "Ubuntu 11.10 without Unity" for more options.

Found it under Launcher Properties... /Firefox/icons.

I'm getting acquaited with Mint these days. This is old equipment and so still using Gloria. How do I get an Icon off the desktop without eliminating the program? Also, I've downloaded Firefox 7 but...

Thank you pommie for the links. It seems to me that climate scientists tend to forget the rest of the science. I would also like to thank all of those who have made suggestions to be environmentally...

There's probably some truth to this but it's not complete. Have a look here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scientists_opposing_the_mainstream_scientific_assessment_of_global_warming

So according to you, as a scientist, is climate change a natural phenomenon or due to man's activity on this planet? Can we really slow down the warming process? What's your personal view on what...

One of the great mysteries is if it's because of CO2 which should equalize throughout the atmosphere, Antarctica's sea ice is now shown to be expanding slightly while the arctic sea ice is...

What is happening to science?

How about turning this discussion around now? A lot of people have come up with arguments showing their disbelief about anthropogenic global warming. If we knew more about why you believe that global...

Assuming we even got to the point where we thought mankind should do something about global warming, who would do the planning? Or, a more poignant question would be, who would we trust to do the...

I think it's make a lot of sense to keep our air and water as clean as possible and most people would agree with that. Climate change, on the other hand, is a totally different matter. I find it hard...

From what I've read, if the current trend of global warming continues, oceans levels shouldn't rise more than 1 to 2 mm per year... This is very difficult for the average guy to take seriously ( just...

Take a look at this: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Which_gases_make_up_the_earth%27s_atmosphere
and now tell me why I should be worried about CO2 levels?

And think of what India, China and Brazil will consume, to mention only the most dynamic economies. The answer has to be better technology.
