Which linux distrib for AMD X2???

[shoza]

My specs are:

AMD X2 4600+
Asus M2N32-SLi Deluxe Motherboard
2X1GB Corsair DDRII RAM
S-ATA 160MB Maxtor DiamondMax HDD
Sont Floppy Drive (which isn't reading disks)
7600GT 256MB

I have tried to install kubuntu X86 and AMD64 but both have failed, the X86 having a problem with the timer (possibly running too fast) and the AMD64 getting stuck on the blue bar screen. I am new to linux, and have just built this monster of a machine, so I would like to know is there such thing as having a computer too fast to run linux? If so can you reccommend any distributions that will work?

Thanks

Re: Which linux distrib for AMD X2

Hi,

I have almost the same machine maybe you use a AM2, I'm using a socket 739 proc.
Anyway, I have a kubuntu 64 bits installed and it's working well. On the beginning it was twice to fast for the clock but after a kernel upgrade was great.
About the blue bar issue, it can be the xserver-xorg core bug, be sure to install the version finishing by 4.

Cheers
