| 1145213 | 2010-10-17 06:30:00 | I have just installed Mint 9 in virtual box and it runs quite well on Win7 64bit even though Mint is only 32bit | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1145214 | 2010-10-17 08:34:00 | Slightly OT but, You can also use all your ram on 32 bit with a -bigmem kernel | fred_fish (15241) | ||
| 1145215 | 2010-10-17 09:09:00 | Slightly OT but, You can also use all your ram on 32 bit with a -bigmem kernelYup. Unlike consumer versions of Windows, Linux actually does PAE properly :D. | Erayd (23) | ||
| 1145216 | 2010-10-17 19:14:00 | Moved to the main PF1 forums. How are you finding the latest Ubuntu? I downloaded it but haven't had a chance to give it a whirl ... |

| 1145217 | 2010-10-17 19:40:00 | It's nice, the gaming graphics are terribly slow (maybe because it's in a vm?) and the mouse movement isnt as smooth as it should be. I'd love to run it as a dual boot instead of virtual machine, but there is no driver for my wifi hardware... wait... just had a thought, if i plug my modem-router into my laptop via ethernet, will i need a linux driver for the lan or will it just work automatically? my hardware: Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter Broadcom NetLink (TM) Gigabit [EDIT]: modem router is netcomm nb14wn |

| 1145218 | 2010-10-17 21:43:00 | Chance are ubuntu will pickup the lan adapter and install drivers automatically, not saying it *will* just probably will :p | SoniKalien (792) | ||

You cant use VMs for gaming period.... Dont know about drivers for the ethernet, however i would imagine latest version of Ubuntu would have most drivers |

I live in chch and im with Telestraclear with a 25GB cap thats meant to be up to 5mb/s at its highest but it never gets close to it have a look at this. www.speedtest.net :badpc: Sorry off topic but what isp are you with?

| 1145221 | 2010-10-18 09:40:00 | im only with slingshot, but i only have good speed cos im close to the exchange, and live in an area where not very many people have internet let alone full broadband. I recommend against joining slingshot. |
