Thank-you,
This computer was running Windows Vista from the factory. Someone told me that Vista would need more resources than Ubuntu. Is this wrong?
Getting to the actual specks, My laptop is an HP Presario CQ60 or more specifically CQ60-215DX. I opened my bios and searched it as thoroughly as I could, but I could not find anything about the graphics memory. I have the factory 2GB of ram and the AMD Athlon X2 64bit dual core processor. I found a site (http://www.cnet.com/laptops/hp-compaq-cq60-215dx/4507-3121_7-33496182.html) that has specs for the CQ60-215DX It claims that it has 895mb of Total available graphics memory. Would this be what I am looking for?
As far as the ram and CPU
Here is what I found in the terminal concerning the physical memory

Did I miss anything? I will look into the "additional drivers," but if my laptop is to week for this anyway, I may as well not worry about that.
Thank-you,

P.s. I posted these two posts from the laptop in question, so It does work so long as I am not installing any software or overloading it.
