Neither attempt has produce any success. At the very beginning of any load, via CDROM installation program, the system crashes immediately. It seem as though the system is having real difficulty handling how the laptop negotiates the extended memory. If anyone knows how to get around this problem, I'd appreciate your insight. Also if there are any document that you've found particularly insightful please include that information as well.
