The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    I decided to jump the gun and install Ubuntu on my laptop (been running linux for years on my desktop) to see how it holds up.

    Well, ubuntu works beautifully!! and guess what


    NO SOUND SKIPPING!!!

    I'd say this pretty much confirms that Dell's sound drivers are all pieces of s---t!

    Ironically enough... LOTRO seems to run better WINE than on XP... go figure...
