I had Dell studio 1536 laptop with windows vista defaults already installed. recently I decided to shift from Microsoft windows to ubuntu.

I installed Ubuntu gnome 3. After installation It's look like that everything is ok. but I found that ubuntu perform much more slowly than Vista!!!

I discovered that ubuntu uses an alternative driver for my Graphic card. Take a look to this:

Then i decided to download & install proper ATI (AMD) driver, from here.

My on-board graphic card is: ATI radeon HD 3200

THE QUESTION: IS IT IMPORTANT TO REMOVE PREVIOUS AMD DRIVER WHICH INSTALLED BY DEFAULT?

AND THEN WHAT IS ATICONFIG ? SAVE X WINDOW CONFIGURATION FILE? TAKE A LOOK TO THIS SCREEN SHOT:

any suggestion would become helpful

Check this article. It gives the most comprehensive explanation on ways to install ATI Drivers. The link will answer most of your questions. I presume that you want to install the drivers manually, you might want to read section 3 in the link.

aticonfig --initial configures X to use ATI drivers provided they are installed properly. Make sure you run this command as soon as your drivers are installed completely and before rebooting.
