Is Ultimate Edition compatible with i3 or i5 processors?

[mirchichamu]

I am planning to buy a laptop with i3 or i5 processor. I would like to ask whether I will be able to install ultimate edition? Right now I don't know whether it will be having onboard memory or any video card.

I shall be thankful if you help me in this regard.

There's no reason for it to NOT be compatible with either an i3 or i5 processor. The processor is not a problem. I'm sure I would have seen something about it if it were.

mirchichamu I have this puppy spinning around in an I7 2.8GHZ and I ust say, that yes I am confident it will work on the lappy.

What type of graphics chip are you looking at?

mirchichamu,
I have tested Ultimate Edition on i3, i5 and i7 based systems - no issues with the processors at all.

Cheers.

Thanks a lot my friends 2hot6ft2, ixnod and moebius for your replies...now I can confidently buy an i3 or i5 laptop. I asked this question because I saw a thread in Ubuntu forum that some people have problem with these processors specially when they have on board memory.

You're welcome,

I found the thread you were looking at and posted in. It's not the processor that is the problem, it seems to be the built in graphics that come on some models. Now that some manufacturers are going to a hybrid where the graphics chip is integrated as part of the CPU (note to self read more on that... ). Here is System 76 that was mentioned by IAmWhatWasDavidBowman.

And I agree, getting one with ubuntu on it from the start might save you some headache, or at least give you some peace of mind knowing it will be working from the start. system76 has a good reputation.

If anyone wants to see the thread being referred to it's here
Is the i3, i5 or i7 intel processors supported by Ubunut
The thread was started in Jan. 2010 so I linked to where it would apply to Lucid. It's only 4 pages long, but it is interesting.

Wooooooooooooow! Thanks a million mate for replying my question on other forum. Exactly I quoted the same thread I saw there what you have quoted.
As far as system 76 is concerned, it is not available where I am. I want to buy a Dell or Toshiba with i3 or i5 BUT I don't know which one to select, with on board graphics or the one with nvidia or ati cards?
