Guest erikgig Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 I installed mandrake 9.0 on an athlon xp1700 w 384mb ddr 2100 ram with an nvidia geforce2 mx400. The install went perfect but the system runs slower than my other mandrake box which is a celeron 466 with 128mb ram and an intel i810 vid. anyone have any ideas where to start. under xp running unreal turn 2003 i'm getting 65-70 fps and with linux im only getting 10-15. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 Download the nvidia driver from http://www.nvidia.com and install it. Search the board for tutorial how to install it. Anyway, when I reinstall my mandrake 9.0 because I just gotten a new HD (put the mandrake 9.0 in the new hd, natch). I found out that it was slower than before. It took me two reinstall to make it snappy again. The only two things I did different in my last reinstall is to NOT install the Japanese packages and NOT to update at the end of the install. I don't think you install other language so the only other suggestion is not to update until the install is totally finished could be one that can solve your problem. I dunno why but now my mandrake seems snappy again after I did (or did not) do those two things.. try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest erikgig Posted November 2, 2002 Report Share Posted November 2, 2002 Thanks i'll give it a try. Someone mentioned recompiling the kernel with optimizations for the athlon xp mandrake as yet is not my production os because I run alot of vb and .NET apps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ral Posted November 2, 2002 Report Share Posted November 2, 2002 I have a system with similar specs to yours (XP1700, 256MB DDR RAM and GeForce 2MX). I have used both ML8.2 and 9.0 in this box and ML9.0 seems a bit faster. What kind of motherboard do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Counterspy Posted November 2, 2002 Report Share Posted November 2, 2002 You don't need to compile a new kernel. Just put lilo nopentium in the append section under lilo in the boot section>boot config in the Mandrake Control Center. When you bring up the box it should be clear. That may solve the problem.
