Hi all, I was one of the many who purchased the Dell laptops when they shipped here in the UK with Ubuntu pre-installed. I've got a Pentium Dual-Core chip (not a core-duo although I'm not sure what the difference is!) installed and although /proc/cpuinfo shows both cores as seperate processors, I'm really not convinced that the dual-core with 1024MB RAM is faster than my old 1.4GHz with 512MB RAM.
I've got stock Gutsy installed on the laptop (upgraded from feisty using apt-get dist-upgrade) so if there are any packages that you think would be more beneficial, please let me know. One of the things I've stumbled upon in the forums is the possibility of running x64 on Core2-Duo processors - would that help me here? Cheers, Matt. -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
