@DYK: Thank you for your advice. It might be interesting to burn a copy of 12.04 once it comes out and see how it runs in live mode but I doubt I upgrade to it.

BTW, speaking of old versions that we keep running...I finally actually LOOKED at which version is still on my mom's computer: 9.10! I know I've posted that it's 9.04 and then other times 9.10, because I couldn't remember--and I was too lazy to get up and go to her room. But I was installing some more games for her the other day so I thought, gee, how 'bout dropping to a prompt and finding out which version this is. Yep, definitely 9.10. And, no, I have no plans to upgrade--she's perfectly happy with what she's got, it runs great, and she wouldn't know or care about a new version anyway, so why make more work for myself?

@GreyGeek: Perhaps at some future point, 10.04 works very well on this system and I'm hesitant to leave it.

The only thing that may force me to install Precise is if the HD problems it began having turn out to be the beginning of the end for that HD. IF that turns out to be the case and I have to replace the HD, then Precise will be setting on it.Last edited by GreyGeek; Feb 08, 2012, 10:29 AM."A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.”

Too bad this was a laptop, you might have been able to get better results if you were able to replace the 9600 with a Nvidia card.
@DYK: RE: Your mom's computer....kind or reminds of the age old advice: If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
