I think I figured out my problem, when I set my appearance setting to extra it slowed down my performance so bad it was giving me errors. I set it to normal, now it's running like a top. I've had my computer running since yesterday and I haven't had any problems, even watching a DVD. i followed your advice in using K3b in burning and verifying the DVD I burned for a live DVD.we are running it on my wife's laptop now and she's trying it out. is there a problem with my video card? or am I just trying to run too much for my system load? specs in siggy,welcome any input.

cheers

Hi, taking a better look at "siggy" you are lucky to have any acceleration at all ! ATI RAGE 128 is on the verge of inop ! ( And quite frankly I am impressed that you even got it to do anything ! you must share this Knowlage )But any way yes your card is more than likely the issue, you may also be able to "tweak" some, if you try this post from ! viewtopic.php?f=47&t=3336 also open "Compiz settings manager Kill 3D desktop, deform cube,Ect Disable all the "heavy stuff" Inable "desktop wall" You may still be able to have "wobbly" windows and such, experiment with the settings, and try to boost to extra, The cube, Even though you don"t see it, (and it is active) , it is still running, and takes a lot to run, even just running in the background, Check it, see what happens !

The rage 128 gpu was my first.It let me play Diablo in the 80's....I still have the card.I stuck a nvidia 5600 in my machine once too....both will draw the desktop on your monitor,and thats about it.Don't expect flashy things/games to happen with those cards(the ones you have).If you have a agp slot on your motherboard then I would look into an nvidia agp card...unless you want to go balls out,and buy all new hardware.

If you plan on running Linux with the new hardware then make sure everything is compatible with it.If you don't do the research until its to late you might be disappointed.
