Though you can leave out this repository: ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates - it doesn't seem to be required

Wow, it works :)Quote:

yep, I told you so.. It just uses huge amounts of power (10 Watts extra) but performance wise it doesn't improve that much compared to the intel graphicsQuote:

But now it works, so I guess that will prove useful someday - thanks for your time, and maybe @wonghang will be able to work on CUDA now :)Quote:

If I do replace the drive with a ssd, could I use the internal ssd for the same purpouse windows does? (which I believe is just so you can sleep/wake up real quick).
