[xubuntu] how can the memory chip speed be checked?

view full story
linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – hi, I have a old desktop box that is running xubuntu with xfce ( 12.04.01 ). It has two memory slots in it and the specs for the motherboard show that it can max 2 gigs and run DDR up to PC3200 (400mhz). I now have one slot filled with PC3200 , 1/2 gig. I would like to verify that this chip is running at 400 mhz. I think it may be clocking back down to PC2700. Is there anyway to do that from the terminal? thanks (Hardware)

Stories similar to [xubuntu] how can the memory chip speed be checked?

I have a long-term problem with my Acer TravelMate 3002WTMi (Pentium-M 1.73Ghz, 512 MB RAM) and Xubuntu 11.10. Whenever load increases machine tends to slow down to the point that it's totally unresponsive (for 10-30 sec. intervals which is very annoying). It always happens when i.e. Gmail and Youtube tabs are open with a browser..

[xubuntu] problem with ppa 3 weeks 4 days ago

I cant agregate ppa : this is the error

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.10 [sudo] password for dado33: You are about to add the following PPA to your system: Xfce 4.10 packages for Xubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin).

Please note that only Xfce 4.8 is officially supported on Xubuntu 12.04.

I recently installed Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit. I also just got two sticks of 2G DDR 400Mhz ECC Reg. Ram for my computer (It requires ECC Reg for anything a Gig and Up) for a total of 6 Gigs. The motherboard is an H8DCE, if that helps.

Anyway, I installed the ram yesterday, and at first it would detect it all in the bios, but not in Ubuntu (Which only detected 4.8).

Xfce is a lightweight desktop environment for UNIX-like operating systems. It aims to be fast and low on system resources, while still being visually appealing and user friendly.

Running Xubuntu 12.04 32-bit.

for T's and G's, I recently tried out the "xfce session" as opposed to the default "xubuntu session," chosen from login screen.

However, now I can't change the default back to "xubuntu session"!

Someone please help this is a serious first world struggle!

I tried editing .dmrc in $HOME, but that didn't do anything.

My question has a few parts: I just installed the 32-bit version of xubuntu a couple days ago on a Dell optiplex GX620 with 486 MB SDRAM (i know) and a 3 GHz dual-core processor with 2 MB L2 cache memory.

I plan on adding 2 GB of RAM (this should be easy right?), bringing the specs up to just under 2.5 GB memory.

Xubuntu 12.10 Released! 34 weeks 6 days ago

Xubuntu 12.10 is out! Xubuntu is a Ubuntu based GNU/Linux distribution that focuses on XFCE desktop environment.

Currently I'm in doubt: I'm getting a new Dell Vostro 2520 with 4 gigs of memory. The problem is that I'm Ruby/ ex-php developer and may have to work with quite big projects. probably simultaneously.
