Hey guys I am back again... been busy "studying for exams"... ;)
I have now dropped my card back to stock settings and my CPU to ~2.5... all is stable under XP Pro... but don't get me started on vista... first I nearly lost all my games installed because I was organizing partitions to install it on... then I got it back... now half the games don't work... GREAT! (Sarcastic) I now have to reinstall all my games... and ATI drivers are still a problem in VIsta... does ATI even care? OR are they only in it for the money??? ANyway... I have entered the razer gaming mouse pad comp... pls take a look and let me know wat you think... THanks C4N.... (Cheers for now)

And be careful when partioning your HDD: always defragment first, then make an "image" of the entire disk, and then repartition with preferably a bootable cd like this one: SourceForge.net: Files

Anyway I don't think that Vista is that pretty, you should see my Darkroom theme in Ubuntu 8.10. Looks a lot better.

And I think you messed up because of your dual boot with both Vista and XP. I think you need to do manual partitioning (instead of the other methods the installer gives), thus add an ext3 partition (for Ubuntu) and a swap partition (for the "virtual memory"). I am member of this Dutch Ubuntu forum, though assuming you're English-speaking you should try this one: Ubuntu Forums BTW, I have to tell you that in my case I have video playback issues when the Compiz desktop effects (desktop cube, window previews like in Vista, wobbly windows etc.) are enabled. I didn't take the effort yet to solve it, but there is a solution available afaik. You have the same graphics card as I have, so you may have to check that ubuntu forums to solve issues you may get. At least, you may have to if you want to use the Compiz-Fusion effects (for which you need an additional program). The "basic" looks shouldn't be troublesome. Anyway, I advise you to take a little safari through that forums before trying anything.
