Hey John,
Robert at ACD C Menory seems like a really good guy. He had responed to my email within a few hours, and then again shortly after my reply to that email. He said to send the bad memory back and he'll replace it, and that he's sold a lot of these memory modules and hasn't had any complaints up to this point. But with the system crashes being so intermittant, and Windows being so famous for crashing... I kind of wonder how many people may just chaulk the problem off as being a Windows problem.
Even I was convinced that the lockups were do to running Win98SE on this L100, as I've never had SE instlled on anything before. I recall David saying he hadn't had any problems with SE at all.
But the other day I took an old HDD, and restored a Ghost image of pure Win98 on it that I'd installed on the L100 before I went to SE. And I ran as many apps as fast and furiously as I could, starting MP3s with WinAMP, connecting and browing the net, popping in and out my CD-ROM and CF card (the one that usually caused the lockups) PC cards. And within about 5 minutes got Win98 to crash just as SE had been doing. I just think I hadn't >used< the copy of pure Win98 enough to experience the crashes.
Don't know why I hadn't thought of removing the memory module before this and checking for crashes. But with it out, I multitasked wildly for 10-15 minutes with out freezing the system. Popping my HDD with SE installed and doing the same test didn't result in any lockup either.
I >had< trying encoding some MP3s to see if the process was faster with the 32MB upgrade, and found that it only sped up the 3 minute process of encoding one file by only 5 seconds or so. I don't know if that's a valid process of testing the speed of the memory upgrade. But if the system was crashing at that point, I didn't make the link to the memory. I suppose there is software to do benchmark (why does that term not sound right) testing I should run when I get the replacement memory.

Hi Matt
Thats the same stuff I'm using. Generic memory sucks but what can you do? I
talked to a Toshiba rep about reintroducing the Libretto series in the US
and he said he'd what he could do- I wish they would
