There was a time up until now that after a RC release it would settle down
and run nice but with this Release that is not the case. I am not giving up
on Fedora as a whole but when you can't make anything run without freezing
screens and nvidia drivers won't install it becomes frustrating.
Maybe I made a lot of changes at once, from a HP nc2400 with f14 to a Lenovo
x120e with f16. I have not noticed any slowdowns even though the HP was a
duo core and the Lenovo is single. So I would put the suspect on the nvidia
cruft. And nvidia for some reason has been a long time sore spot with
Fedora.
Just a data-point to the other side: I'm running nvidia happily on one
machine. Occasional gnome pauses, but they also affect my other
(non-nvidia) computer. Adding more RAM seemed to help a bit (now at
3GB, previously 1.5GB), do hope this gets attention in future
releases. (Yes bugs are filed)
I really appreciated all your help but I am still unable to install
nvidia drivers. How do I go about changing my runlevel. I downloaded
drivers from nvidia.com with instructions on how to install but I am
unable to find out how to change runlevel in order to install these
drivers. I am running a i7 950 processor with 6g of Hyperx memory 1333.
