I want to add more RAM to my Evo W4000. How do I find out what RAM is installed and what type should I install? Thanks Alan

Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with the eMachines T3256 with the AMD Athlon XP Processor 3200+? The price seems quite good, although it's not a high profile brand like Dell or Compaq or HP. Is that a 64bit processor like a lot of the other...

I'm wanting to add a 2nd HDD to my Evo W4000. What type of HDD am I best to use?

What's your advice on some models I should take a look at? All I know is Compaq and HP and I would not buy either because of the lack of help, even when you pay for it. They outsource and you can't understand half of what you're told. And half of what you understand is usually incorrect...

I have had the compaq s3000z for over a year and a half now. Lately, after about 45 minutes of use, my computer will power off for no aparent reason. I've tried loading different operating systems, with the same result. Win2k, WinXP Prof, and Windows Media Edition 2005. After the machine powers...

I just installed Suse Linux on a 7935 that was in a corner collecting dust. It runs pretty well, but I'd like to max out the mem to give it a boost. Searching online says that max config is this machine is 512MB (2 x 256). Is that true? Is it a moot point if I did up a couple spare 512 SDRAM...

Hi all. I bought my Compaq 1505US from Best Buy about 2 years ago. I suppose that was my first mistake. Anyway, it just came back from repair for the 4th time. I ran a diagnostic and it appears that they changed out the motherboard without informing me. What deception on their part. I brought...

The screen is really dark on my ARMADA 7790 dmt,and it doesnt adjust.How can i fix this? -- CHIEFS KICK DOWN THE DOOR IN 2004

Hi folks, I'm having a couple of problems with my new (well, just bought) AP400 700Mhz. F10 doesn't work to enter setup - I can't enter setup at all. I have installed the Compaq diagnostics setup into its own partition from the Softpaq floppies, but nothing happens. All I get is the word 'setup'...

I bought an older Compaq Deskpro indirectly off Ebay, but the dealer can't give me much info about it, not even it's age. The numbers on the cover a DPEND-P450/10.0/N4C-6 US 6848 CD47 B131 It's a Pent II system running Win98 and I wish to upgrade the RAM to 256 Mb.

I have one of these for an older DeskPro, Part no 288468-001, and is not working, of course. Anyone who knows where to buy such old PSU's today ? Only 90watts i belive, is that adequate for a Pentium 2 450 Mhz ? The problem is that it will not "ignite", it just starts and stops 0,2 sec later......

Hi, I build a new array with new, NON compaq harddisks (IBM) on a Compaq Smart-Array Controller. All work fine at this moment :-) I know that the HD's fom Compaq have a special Compaq Firmware. - What exactly is different? - What will happen when a drive fail?

Greetings... I have a relatively straightforward set of questions. I own a Compaq Presario 7000US (Athlon 1.2 GHz CPU, preinstalled 80GB Ultra-DMA HD) and have recently started to have the sorts of problems one expects when a hard disk is nearing the end of its life. I was just wondering what...

Hi, I'd like to replace my HDD with a new one. How to proceed to dismount that notebook ? please, be as accurate as possible ;-) thanks in advance J-Paul

hello all, My daughter and me are disappointed by the display resolution for games like Happyland Adventures (http://www.freelunchdesign.com/) or Santa Klaus in trouble (http://www.cdvspiel.de/ostern/index.htm). Funny and nice free games for kids. But on our Compaq Presario R3117EA, Happyland...
