I tried to use Linux for a very long time, but it always performed poorer than Windows 7
@orekix maybe, i don't know if 4gb it's a low memory situation.
@orekix that's the thing, i always used the same combination of software in both systems, and typically used distros that advertise to work well on older hardware (lubuntu, bodhi and the likes).
In some places i had read that Linux just didn't liked my kind of chipset and blamed it to lack of support from the maker (AMD)
