12.04 on Pentium Dual Core with 1GB or ram running slow
- by Alex
hey i have a Lenovo Thinkpad Laptop with Ubuntu 12.04 installed.
It runs slow. I tried "System profiler and Benchmark" to test the computer. but the application quits and closes after the first few benchmark test. before it even gets to the other tests.
So i tried "Hardinfo" that installed on the Puppy Linux live cd. that did the same thing (the apps look just a like).
the memory usage isnt the problem on this pc. its the cpu processes. just running the "system profiler" app that comes with ubuntu uses about 34% on each core, default with nothing running its 5-10% on each core.
i cant really find what the deal is other than that ubuntu is a cpu hog.
so im testing unity2D at the moment to see how it goes.
if you have any other suggestions, feel free to answer this question.
thanks
