You must be a genius because I obtained a version of Windows 8 for $39.99 when released and attempted to install it. Since the Dell can have 4 gb and it is a P4, 2.8, I thought it might work. So, since I was installing or trying to install a new OS, I plead guilty. I did change the cmos to indicate I was installing a new operating system. I was never able to install Windows 8 because it locked up each time tried. So, now I'm thinking the Windows 8 may not have installed because the system only saw the 256 K because I indicated I was installing a new system. So, I guess now that it sees the 4 gb, I'll try again without indicating I'm installing a new OS. Other ideas?
