Well, it has been an ordeal... I send several hours trying to figure out why my 16 GIG of RAM looked like 8G. I kept trying to find out which RAM dimm was bad, but, in fact, it was the motherboard. I had bought a GIGABYTE 990FXA-U3 motherboard. It was out of the box defective. I didn't know that, of course, I had to swap memory and test before I concluded it was not, in fact, the RAM but the motherboard. I had to wait for Sunday to go to Microcenter and get a replacement motherboard. It is now working, and here is the output of /proc/cpuinfo: processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 21 model : 1 model name : AMD FX(tm)-8120 Eight-Core Processor stepping : 2 microcode : 0x6000613 cpu MHz : 3120.331 cache size : 2048 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 8 core id : 0 cpu cores : 4 apicid : 0 initial apicid : 0 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 13 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht sy scall nx mmxext fxsr_opt pdpe1gb rdtscp lm constant_tsc rep_good nopl nonstop_tsc extd_apicid aperfmperf pni pclmulqdq mo nitor ssse3 cx16 sse4_1 sse4_2 popcnt aes xsave avx lahf_lm cmp_legacy svm extapic cr8_legacy abm sse4a misalignsse 3dnow prefetch osvw ibs xop skinit wdt lwp fma4 nodeid_msr topoext perfctr_core arat cpb npt lbrv svm_lock nrip_save tsc_scale vmcb_clean flushbyasid decodeassists pausefilter pfthreshold bogomips : 6240.66 TLB size : 1536 4K pages clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 48 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: ts ttp tm 100mhzsteps hwpstate [9] I'm not feeling the love from Ubuntu 12.04. Anyone have a good distro that uses gnome 2 and the 3.x linux kernel?
