Hi all! Does anyone know, how much the max memory for Armada E500 is? At the moment I have 2 Dimms 128MB PC133 CL3 each installed. Thanks a lot. Stefan

I'm reinstalling WinXP into an Armada E700 laptop for a friend. It had got messed up pretty bad, so had to reformat the hard drive and start from scratch. The Compaq LAN drivers (SP22996) will not install because "...there is no Intel Network Driver..." Intel's network driver will not...

I have two Compaq Armada Laptops. Armada E500 Armada M700 BOTH have a popping/crackling noise in the right channel only. Starts out ok, but gets unbearable after a few minutes.

Hi- I've got an M300 with (I think) a dodgy battery. The guage on it says full, the battery software says full but unplug the mains and the machine dies unceremoniously. Testing the 8 connector rings on the (4 cell) battery, I can't get more than 2.5V across any two, so I think the battery's dead,...
