Solaris 9 for x86 ?Probably not, unless that's an old laptop.Go through the Hardware Compatibility List http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/You will need to know your own hardware components,down to a chip-level, to make a proper determination.

In my first response, I use some emphasis on the Solaris "9".I used bold when I should have added underlining as well as italics.Solaris 9 == don't bother. It will probably not work.Use Solaris 10, instead.
