我有一台 7 年前升级的 Dell Inspiron 1300，是我父母送给我的生日礼物。它目前配备 2 GB 的 RAM 内存和 160 GB 的硬核内存。它有一个 Mobile Intel 910 GML Express 芯片组系列显卡和一个 1.60 GHz 的 Intel Celeron 处理器。我很想知道在我的计算机上安装 Ubuntu 是否能够在观看视频和在线流媒体时获得更好的性能。
答案1
您的系统配置足以运行 Ubuntu。是的，它的性能将比 Windows XP 更好。尽管我建议您使用Ubuntu 12.04 LTS在最新版本的 Ubuntu 上，例如，12.10因为：13.0413.10
- 这是长期支持，因此支持将持续到 2017 年 4 月。
Unity 2D具有需要较少资源且之后会被删除的桌面环境的特点12.10。- 在低配置系统中运行效果比最新版本的 Ubuntu 更好。
我正在使用 Ubuntu 12.04 LTS，我的系统配置是：

我使用 ubuntu 是因为它的系统要求比 XP 低，而且性能也比 XP 好。希望我的回答对您有帮助。
答案2
一定要试试 Linux！XP 包括所有必要的更新和服务包，使得旧笔记本使用起来非常慢。下一个大阻碍是 2014 年。从 4 月 9 日起，微软将不再为 XP 提供任何更新。在此日期之后，在较新版本和 XP 使用的 Windows 库中发现安全漏洞后，您肯定会感染越来越多的病毒和木马。
2GB 的 RAM 应该可以应付 ubuntu/kubuntu/lubuntu/xubuntu 等等......但是不要指望系统能像使用新硬件那样快。
