    [ :D]I installed Windows XP Pro on my system and man that thing flies. My M6805 was a dissappointment until I did that.[ :D]

    Install all the drivers from the original cd and Man I run the full 1.8 GHZ on battery and off battery. Upgraded my Bios to the
    M6811 bios and popped in another 512mb of ram going to go up to full 2gigs in about a week. Tossed out the 4200 rpm hardrive and install a 7200rpm 60 gig so for now I am HAPPY!!!!!!![ ;)]
