Re: Ubuntu: Anyone running dual video card and monitors
XP is ok, but it's old. There's no reason that it's functionally better than Vista. The only grief I have with vista is that you can't drag files into a cd folder and burn a data cd that will play in a car. That's it so far, and I've been running it for months.

But, XP uses more than win2k, win2k uses more than 98, 98 uses more than 95, 95 uses more than 3.1, 3.1 uses more than DOS............etc Ram is cheap as ---- like rawr said. I have 4 x 2gb sticks of "high quality performance ram" for $100. You can probably get 8gb of decent ram for $50, it's not expensive. Win7 is even better than Vista with resources since everyone's whining about it. They had a beta running smoothly on a dinky netbook only using around 200mb of ram... |

For video cards if you're using linux I will suggest nvidia card based. Stay away for any ati cards, linux support suck balls. |

Differents people, differents taste, prepare to receive bunch of differents answers too. Currently using fedora with a dual screen at work and found it pretty stable. At home everything is gentoo powered. For video cards if you're using linux I will suggest nvidia card based. Stay away for any ati cards, linux support suck balls. |
