I used 804 a long time, then move up to KU 904 - works fine on my laptop & desktop.  If u want to use 804, great - but - tell me why u don't just upgrade to 904? thx.  that should work well.

BTW, join on irc.freenode.net #berkeleytip - that's the fast way to get problems solved & upgrades done, interactively. :)
