Okay, so I have been running for a while on Core 2 now. I do like it, however, I have noted a few idiosyncrasies. I have read about the Nvidia issues, and the dual boot issues. I have tried the sfdisk routine to no avail, changed from Auto to LBA as someone else suggested, still no go, so no XP on my home system. (Work is strictly Core2.) I did notice something weird with Evolution though. Even though the settings state that .htm files are to be opened with htmlview in Gnome settings, Evo wants to use mplayer. If I click on a link in an email rather than just opening another instance of Mozilla, it prompts for a profile stating that the default profile is all ready in use. I will have to wait for the Nvidia and just use the nv driver. At some point, I hope a solution to the dual boot will come, my son wants to play his games. It is more the issues with Evo. It is more a nuisance, but still seems buggy to me. I thought Evo used the Gnome settings for attachments? Is there any other place the settings are stored? TIA, Ed. -- Edward M.
