Hello. Not sure if this is the right group. Is there a way to
accurately test cpu speed? Mine is listed at 2.3 GHz. When I test it
with the program cpuspeed it reports it from 1.08 GHz to 2.1 GHz. I've
started experiencing alot of stuttering watching streaming flash with
cpu at 100% and don't know what's wrong. Rebooting stops it for a
little bit but it comes back.
Thank you,

Have you checked the CPU's temperature? Looked to make sure that the
CPU's fan is working properly and not full of dust?

At least he isn't using that piece of crap - Ubuntu. If he was, the CPU
speed wouldn't matter because he wouldn't be doing any real computing!



Actually, Ubuntu will run on CPUs that Vista can't handle. For example,
with the one I'm using now, an AMD XP 2200+ with only one gig of RAM and
an nVidia 6200 with 512MB, the latest version of Ubuntu flies on this
machine but Vista can't even crawl on it. Not only that, I have XP on
another drive on this machine and it consistently gets 2 megs less of
Internet download speed than Ubuntu does.

The fact that you have to stick your head into a thread and diss Ubuntu
only reveals your insecurity regarding Ubuntu and you lack of ability to
use it properly and do "real computing" with it.

Sorry to disappoint. If Ubuntu was such a great alternative to Windows,
everyone would be ditching Vista/XP and migrating to the Linux platform.
Just isn't happening on a big scale. After many years of Linux/Ubuntu being
FREE, still less than ONE PERCENT of the desktop users think it's a good
idea. Imagine after all these years and with a FREE OS, most everyone still
doesn't want it.

That should tell you all you need to know about it. No insecurity at all
about Ubuntu. Nobody wants it. Plain and simple.
Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out.
