For what it's worth, in my own testing here at work (I needed to do some comparative benchmarks before a large roll-out of new PCs), my numbers are a lot different. The 1.7 Centrinos came out more on a par with 2.4GHz P4s. A 3GHz P4...

Will it make it faster? Somewhat, probably, since the data you access frequently will be kept physically closer on the disk. Will it make a *big* difference? No.

I'be been using the external one (the agpgart kernel module from 2.6.1, with the sis_agp module for the 4780's SiS chipset). I moved both modules out of the way, and reconfigured X to use internal agpgart. In the interest of keeping...

It's definitely the kernel module doing it. Loading it manually outside X does the same thing. I've also checked the X logs, and it's right at the part where it loads the module that things go haywire. I was out this weekend and...

That's what I'd gathered from cruising the forums here. Unfortunately, I'm still not there yet... As soon as X tries to load the (what's it called? fglrx? I'm away from the machine at the moment) module from the ati-drivers package,...

Argh... Mikhail, when you reminded me to check if DRI was working, I found out it wasn't. I remembered I hadn't built the ati-modules package since my first kernel, and probably ought to do it again to make it match the current...

Did someone say RTFM? I printed off the instructions for the Radeon drivers from http://www.ati.com/drivers/linux/readme0370.txt and noticed I was going about configuring X all wrong. Once I ran fglrxconfig and restarted X,...

Not much to report today, other than I can now confirm the card reader works fine so far, and I've pinned down the cause of the earlier freezes. Interestingly, it *is* the AGP aperture setting in the BIOS. If I set it to 128, the...
