Dear Folks
Last year I tried to install Ubuntu 12.04 on my machine but it failed pretty badly, to the point that I had to install 10.04, and from there upgrade to 11.10, which is what I am currently running. I am getting messages inviting me to upgrade to 12.04 LTS, but the experience I had last year was so bad that I have not done so.
My system configuration is as follows:
CPU: AMD FX-6100 Zambezi 3.3GHz Socket AM3+ 95W Six-Core Desktop Processor
MOBO: ASUS M5A97 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS Version = 1208
Video Card: EVGA 01G-P3-1556-KR GeForce GTX 550 Ti (Fermi) FPB 1GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support
Memory: CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
HardDisk: Western Digital Caviar Blue WD10EALX 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5"
DVD: ASUS DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS Black SATA 24X DVD Burner
So here is the question: Has 12.04 been tested and known to upgrade OK on systems such as mine with AMD multi-core CPUs with GeForce GTX cards, which is nVidia?
Many thanks
