Painful FPS and Lag

Assuming after following that guide - there shouldn't be a problem.

It should recompile your existing kernel so you won't need to edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst to set it up to boot a different kernel. It may even add the new kernel automatically to the /boot/grub/menu.lst as the default option - which if it does, you won't need to do anything else.

However if it doesn't overwrite your existing kernel or add the new kernel to the menu.lst, you *may* need to:

Code:
sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst

or

Code:
sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

and add the new kernel into the file there ABOVE the other ones currently residing there - just using the exact same format but pointing to the new kernel name.

For example, my ubuntu box (based on debian) menu.lst contains:

Code:
title        Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic
root        (hd0,2)
kernel        /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic ro quiet splash
initrd        /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic
quiet

title        Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic (recovery mode)
root        (hd0,2)
kernel        /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic ro single
initrd        /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic

title        Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.20-16-generic
root        (hd0,2)
kernel        /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-16-generic ro quiet splash
initrd        /boot/initrd.img-2.6.20-16-generic
quiet

title        Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.20-16-generic (recovery mode)
root        (hd0,2)
kernel        /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-16-generic ro single
initrd        /boot/initrd.img-2.6.20-16-generic

title        Ubuntu 7.10, memtest86+
root        (hd0,2)
kernel        /boot/memtest86+.bin
quiet

If needed, you may need to add something like this in the follow format (replace title and paths):

Code:
title        Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic-1000hz
root        (hd0,2)
kernel        /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic-1000hz ro quiet splash <== [PATH TO NEW KERNEL WITH STARTUP PARAMETERS]
initrd        /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic <== [PATH TO NEW KERNEL]
quiet
