[PrimateFinis]

how much ram did you allocate to your winXP virtualbox, and what is your total system ram?

[adeelisnoones]

i did allocate 512MB since my DELL latitude D620 had 2GB RAM in total

So, do all the drivers work for your Ubuntu on this Dell D620? Modem, sound, video, ethernet, all of them?

[adeelisnoones]

SOUND, VGA, Ethernet,Modem everything will work as soon as you will install the Ubuntu 8 on DELL's Latitude D620 & other Latitude Models. but to install WiFi you need to write some commands in Shell, but its easy to find a way to install WiFi in DELL Latitude Laptops if you GOOGLE it.

Id Software's games run pretty good on Linux with Wine. This is mainly because they support OpenGL omho. I do recall that there was a Linux-version of Quake3...But maybe I'm wrong about that.

DOOM 3 Doesn't need to be launch in VirtualBox and it is not!!!! It is natively launched under the Linux. I don't know what that video really wants to represent...

[Decenium]

seriously why do all D620's on youtube have a T7200 processor and mine only has a T2400 or something.

1.82 Ghz vs 2.0 Ghz :(

restarting what? a computer?

[brainlicker1]

i wish they had the program fully working which would allow a wii remote to work on pc.and yes i agree with u on better fps gaming with mouse but the wasd control set up craps my hand sometimes an the other functions like crouch aren't as easy to access with my thumb

[elredplague]

Or he could use a mouse, because nothing is as bad as controlling an fps with your thumb.

[testdirver]

that is impossible you cant not play doom 3 with that laptop run xp is easy try to run vista
