Hi all I have a Lenovo thinkpad with an Intel Core 2 Duo T5870 2.00 Ghz with a GM 45 Chipset with 8 Gig of DDR III Ram
Since I installed 12.04 LTR my lappy has slowed down and there appears to be memory issues, I am not able to open as many tabs as I was in the previous release 11.04 Facebook jams up and I am unable to use Google DOCS, could someone please suggest a way forward, and some diagnostic tests that I could run to pin point the issue. I have been considering getting an SSD drive and a new main board as one of the USB ports is non functional. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as I have a mountain of research and assessments to do.
