Hi; I installed M2NPV-VM motherboard with an integrated NVIDA 6150 GeForce graphics chip; and a Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor. This replaced a 5 year old Intel GB850 board and chip (plus an ATI Radeon 9600 graphics card) that was fried by a dysfunctional power pack. I currently have Fedora-7-i386 installed My main criteria was to select the most up to date board etc. I could get that a small pension cheque would allow for. Frankly, I haven't seen much improvement over my old board, cpu and graphics -- and in some instances things seem slower. I don't use high end graphics i.e. games. I have read the bumpf and the technical papers re: the M2NPV-VM motherboard, the AMD processor and the NVIDA 6150 chip. My discussion points are: * In practiacal terms, what difference should I be seeing? * How can I tweak things to get full value from my new installation? * Should I install the Fedora-7-x86_64, for ordinary desktop usage? I will be glad to supply more info if it will help the discussion. I am calling it a discussion because, unlike on other occasions, I am not in desperate need of help; I would be interested in several opinions and exchanges; this is meant as a Saturday morning chat that doesn't take other people away from regular work. -- Regards Bill -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
