hi all
my stepsons friends PC fell over big time and its been passed to me to
sort out. major hardware failure of his keyboard is a minor problem and his XP OS seems to have corrupted very badly. so ive reinstalled XP and having
found the drivers for the mainboard its currently updating itself. Then im going to install Ubuntu 8.04, hehehehehe, within windows. i was able to show him compiz in action last night and the 4 virtual desktops. i think he was impressed. the PC is an emachine 420 the mainboard is an AsrockP4VM890 with 2.6Ghz intel celeron cpu. 256meg ram 80GB IDE onboard graphics and sound, via chipset. sound like a good candidate? seeing as the ram is shared with the onboard graphics i think he may as well get 1M installed (theres only 2 slots) or 2M max.Any thoughts as to any other beneficial changes i can suggest to his PC?
...........i know, but apart from removing XP :lolflag::lolflag:
