Performance

[nomad91]

Hey everyone, ive already posted some 9.04 problems in another thread, but heres some questions i'd like asked about 8.10.

I would like to tweak this OS for performance, i like a good looking GUI but with good performance, and so far i havent found much on performance tweaking.
Also, my xorg file seems pretty bare, i had the ATI catalyst 9.1 drivers installed, but they were causing problems with my media player and i had to uninstall them.

Im still pretty new, so im not really sure what drivers to use and what to do with my xorg config. I really could use some help with these things.

My system specs are here:

AMD Athlon X2 5000+@ 3.2GHz
4x1GB Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800
Asus M2R-32-MVP 580X
160GB Seagate sata2
Radeon HD 3870 512MB GDDR4

Im not sure if that will help or not, but if anyone can help me with the performance tweaking and perhaps setting up ICMP chat that would be perfect.

Re: Nvidia releases driver 180.22 might be of help.
