Linux kernel 2.6.35 on Dell D810 Notebook

[icarey]

Hello,
I am using a Dell D810 Notebook and Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with all the latest upgrades, I would like to know if it is ok to upgrade to Ubuntu 10.10. I have read the release notes and I am not certain if Linux kernel 2.6.35 supports my Notebook. Below I have included out put for cat /proc/cpuinfo and x86info -a

Ubuntu 10.04 works very well on my Dell D810
Thank you for your assistance,

I would recommend you to burn 10.10 on a CD and try it in a live session first. That's the only way to be sure.

Also, if you have a separate /home partition (so that you can keep all your data) I would always prefer a clean install to an upgrade.
