If you want to buy it second hand, you should watch the firmware version.

I have an 800Mhz/384MB IBM A21M Thinkpad & it's acceptable on that machine. My guess? If you check using top or System monitor I'll be that tracker is doing it's initial indexing & is using all of the cpu & hard drive cycles. Or you've got some interface/application hung in a loop. Either way you'll need to look using the usual tools: - top - system monitor - dmesg - syslog etc. ------------------------------ Message: 8 Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2009 21:03:56 +0530 From: priyansh purwar <<a href="mailto:purwar.priyansh@gmail.com">purwar.priyansh@gmail.com</a>> Subject: drivers for ubuntu To: <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Message-ID: <<a href="mailto:19ffd1f80908120833l1d19a0fq66348fa3498d83e1@mail.gmail.com">19ffd1f80908120833l1d19a0fq66348fa3498d83e1@mail.gmail.com</a>> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 i have installed ubunt 8.10 and i want drivers for it..... please tell me where it can be available. on internet specialy for wireless connections...i am greatful to you ------------------------------ Message: 9 Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2009 10:48:42 -0500 From: Tab Gilbert <<a href="mailto:tabbox@gmail.com">tabbox@gmail.com</a>> Subject: Re: drivers for ubuntu To: "Ubuntu user technical support, not for general discussions" <<a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a>> Message-ID: <<a href="mailto:e1bca4870908120848h1a0c0059k3ab3b3f7eea85637@mail.gmail.com">e1bca4870908120848h1a0c0059k3ab3b3f7eea85637@mail.gmail.com</a>> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" > i have installed ubunt 8.10 and i want drivers for it..... please tell > me where it can be available. on internet specialy for wireless > connections...i am greatful to you > Would it be possible to provide a little more detailed information? It is a very general question and it is hard to provide specific answers to broad questions. What kind of wireless connections, card type, etc. Any reason in particular for not installing the current version of Ubuntu?

Sounds more fundamental than that. Have you tried simple stuff, like running top to see if some process is hogging the CPU ?
