Desktop spec

[steveking]

Could people who are sucessfully running Linux Mint (any edition) post their computer specs on here?

It will give new users an idea of what hardware is tried tested and working if they are looking at buying new hardware.

Hi Steveking,

There is a nice tool to do just hat on the LM Community site.

...and my new hardware (Intel i5-2500K with H67 support chipset) is included in that compilation.

Why Thank you! I have added myself to the list! (core i5 3.5 Ghz - 8Gb RAM - 1Gb AMD Radeon GDDR5 - 1 Tb SATA)

Unfortunately my graphics card is not working with Maya, and the third party drivers wont install. So no decent graphics and no sound!

Other than that mine works fine

Sorry about the AMD card they have not been too good with linux lately. But read and article saying they would be doing more linux support soon.
hope that's true.
as for the sound that may be fixable.
what is the sound card?

It comes through with my graphics card as it's a desktop. so i have no idea!

Dont worry sound and graphics are now fixed. I was lucky enough to have the drivers for my card on the AMD website so all is well and good posting.php?mode=reply&f=60&t=104566#
