Hi all. I'm using Ubuntu for a couple of years, and all that time i was using Intel-based Laptops. First that where P-3 based machines, last one is Pentium-M machine with 1G RAM and i915-based video (64M RAM). Some time ago i got AMD64-based desktop. After some upgrades it is quite modern AMD64-3200+ Socket AM2, 2G RAM DDR2, Nvidia GeForce 6200 256Gb, SATA2 HDD and also Edgy Eft running on it. You want to ask why am i describing my desktop and laptops configuration? The answer is: My not very modern laptop is working much faster than amd-based desktop. I'm using binary Nvidia drivers on it, so that shouldn't be a weak point.

I took a look at default kernel configuration that comes with linux-386 kernel, and found that it has enabled i486-optimization options. Can it be the reason of my troubles?<br>
<br>
The only way i'm asking this question is my desire for understanding what should i do next, throw away my new desktop, or recompile kernel and so on.</div></blockquote><div><br>To be honest, I'm not sure what's going on. In my case, I'm using the -generic kernel, which is compiled for 686 and supports SMP. I'm running Edgy on a MacBook Pro and it flies. So, now, my only recommendation is for you to try switching to the -generic kernel and seeing if it improves the performance.
<br><br>Else, we should need to figure out what component is not performing as it should.</div></div>
