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...

There is a sale on a new Celeron equipped Compaq in today's newspaper that interests me. But I have heard that Compaq used to do some pretty non-standard stuff. Is that still true? For example, if either the disk drive or monitor were non-standard I would immediately lose interest in...

I have a Compaq laptop (R3120US) with a high speed wireless connection. XP says I have an excellent signal and am logged on. When I start IE6, OE6 (for newsgroups), or Outlook2000 that all tell me they can't connect. Any ideas? PS I'm sure this has something to do with it (can't be a...

I have just tried to install a PCI based GeForce 5200 into my computer to replace the aging Nvidia Vanta LT but it would not sync properly with my Compaq MV740 17" monitor and kept resetting it. Has anyone else had similar experiences? There seem to be rumours that Compaq equipment is not quite...

Has anyone got this combination working? Im not impressed with ATI, the install is abysmall and the computer will only boot into safe mode, a boot into normal mode results in random graphics and lockups. The 5000 has a VIA 82C586A chipset and AMP CPU, possibly not the best match in the computing...

I have a older compaq presario 7360 and recently I had to do quick restore from the CD Compaq sent me . I have no sound and I get nothing when I click on anything except run.Nothing opens. Can anyone help me PLEASE??? I am running win98. Ron

I have a Compaq Evo N610c with SXGA+ resolution. But when I change the resolution to anything less than 1400x1050, say, 1024x768, the display area doesn't occupy the whole laptop screen. Instead it is proportionally smaller. Anyone knows how to make the display area occupy the whole...

Hi! My mother has from her employer been given a rather generous offer on buying a new Compaq computer. The two options she have is Presario S4300SE and Presario 8720SE. She has no real interests in computers and so even a basic model will do. What concerns me about buying a name-brand computer ...

I'm in the market for a new notebook and the Presario 2568AP would suit my purposes (I think)... I need the parallel port to be able to be set in BIOS to fully EPP Compliant to run some sound recording hardware (Soundscape) but no one (not even compaq/HP) seem to be able to tell me if it can! ...

Hello All, I have a Compaq Presario 5184 AMD K62 380 with 128 megs ram I would like to do a clean/fresh install of Windows XP Professional. The problem is this system is not bootable via CDrom or floppy but will only boot with the restore disk. I have checked the BIOS as well. Anyone know where I...

Can anyone tell me what the Fastest Processor that can be used in a presario 5106cl is? I can't seem to be able to find any info. Thanks

email me for all of the cabs, dlls, and other stuff you may need at . I may even tell you how to obtain a copy of the restore disks if you do not have them.

The Abit Siluro i have is 4X . Cant get it to boot. But listen to this crap! I have an Aopen GF4 Ti4200 DVC128MB 8X graphics card that has been in the droor for about a year because i thought it was cooked (worked for about 6 months, lost receipt). Would crash or present enough artifacts that...

I am repairing a computer for a freind, and need to know if there is a list of what upgradability is for a compaq presario 5106cl, specifically what is the range of supported cpus (the CPU dies due to the dreaded single-clip HSF failure). I tested it and it works fine with a 1.4 T-Bird, but I can't...
