Fast, fast, fast. Been busing installing lots of goodies, got to fill 1.5 terabytes somehow. Of course there is a 2nd SATA controller and space for another 1.5 t hard drive...
Found a neat application called aptoncd which allows you to copy all the appz you downloaded and installed to a optical disc so they can be installed on another machine without hogging all your bandwidth with downloads.
This pic shows Xara Extreme in one workspace (impressive program) and a movie running in another workspace. On the old 7.10 machine i could not play movies and run the compiz fusion effects at the same time. Looks like that has been fixed.
Only problem i have encountered so far is that when 2-3 cores get near max the variable fan at the front spins like crazy. From post by others it looks like this is a known problem with the Dell Precision 470. I'll have to look at replacing the stock fan.
This pic shows the other 2 workspaces, one is doing some 3D modelling and the other is playing some music. Best get back to work...more fun later.
