I'm also looking into other ways to improve performance: because hangs happened almost exclusively while running OpenOffice I recompiled this thingie. It seems to help until now but I haven't run it enough yet to be sure. BTW, if it were my own PC and not the PC of my employer I would simply put in another video card and disable the onboard 845G. Anyway I wouldn't have bought this stock Dell machine in the first place :-/.

From http://freedesktop.org/~xorg/X11R6.7.0/doc/RELNOTES3.html#8 : 3.3. Video Driver Enhancements Several stability issues with the support for the Intel 830M, 845G, 852GM, 855GM and 865G integrated graphics chipsets have been fixed. This might be an excellent time to upgrade to the X.org distribution. -- Kirk Strauser pgpxNC7EDi7Ty.pgp Description: signature
