new old PC
This is the story of Claudias new
PC:
The old one died, so i got a "new" one, mounted all parts (hdd,
fdd, network device, graphic card and RAM). After some reboots I
knew, the motherboard was damaged in the RAM section.
Then I got another "new" PC, 333 MHz, 97 MB RAM, ATI Rage 3D
graphic card and a guillemont soundcard. I installed Ubuntu and had
the following effects:
Very very slow, but now I know, minimum should be 500 MHz and 256
MB RAM.
No sound, the card was not recognized.
No printer, the printer was not recognized too.
A screen resolution of 862 x 680. I dont know the vertical and
horizontal frequencies.
All in all, it was not usable.
So I decided to kill Ubuntu: I erased the HDD and installed my
Win98II.
13 reboots untill printer and graphic is installed. What a feeling.
Only the network card is not working. I have no drivers. So I will
use my other card tomorrow where I have drivers. I always thought
Win autodetects this devices? Win98II was made for PC's like this.
It is running very "fluid".
