    Slooow Linux
    « on: June 02, 2010, 09:23:32 PM »
    I have a state-of-the-art computer, yet Linux Ubuntu 9.1 is very slow to start up and painfully slow to respond to mouse commands. What can I do to make it move faster?

      Please post the specs of your machine, to give us some ideas as to what the problem might be. :)

      Most likely you need a graphics driver or a compatible graphics card.

      But post your specs, we can't help you until you do.  8)

        The exact graphics card model. I've never heard of a Radeon 1 G.

          The model is XFX, if that means anything.

          XFX is the brand, not the model.

          I bet he meant he has an XFX brand Radeon with 1 GB memory. But what model, we still don't know  :P
