Well from what I had read, I saw my RAM as borderline (4gb) and I read 
something stating that with a low-end CPU, things should run faster with 
the 32-bit version.

I may very well try this!  I don't mind doing a full reinstall, so this 
may be my next step.

The reason why I went with Gnome3 is that I thought I may pursue Android 
app development, and the Google Android system requirements page states 
that Gnome3 is required...  I didn't have a preference anyway, so I just 
went with it.  Sure it's a disorienting way of working with your system 
(I still keep looking for the clock in the upper right-hand corner!) but 
as I'm not sure about app development anyway, I don't mind going with 
LXDE or Xfce.

I don't know how to determine whether I've got the "latest video 
driver"...  I just replied to two other posts in this thread, listing 
the output of commands I ran -- perhaps that can show us this info?

Thanks for your help.
