Revisiting KDE 4
Recently I have installed Kubuntu 9.10 on my school computer, just to see how it would work under the stress of all the school work I do. I must say – it’s excelling at the job.
A while back I gave KDE 4 a pretty rough review, slamming it on it’s look, its function, and stability. So far, I have to say that I was wrong. It looks absolutely fantastic, the applications are working well, and I have only experienced a few crashes.
One thing that has surprised me the most is Konqueror. I have long said that Konqueror was a better file browser than web browser, but it appears that quite a lot of work has gone into the program as of late.

Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |

4.3.3
4.3.3 has been quite stable if still a bit slow.
I just found I why mine was...
I just checked into to my graphics card settings, and I didn't realize nVidia has a new power saving scheme called Powermizer in the driver. My version was 185.x.x and I couldn't change it. I upgraded to 190.x.x and I turned it to full performance full time. Now, its pretty snappy! I'm a happy camper. I was wondering why I kept getting messages that it was turning off compositing because video performance was too slow... It was underclocking my card by 50%!!!
