Presario 7594 needs to be upgraded by [email protected]
Hey all, I have a Presario 7594 and I need some help. It has a socketed CPU, and I would like to know how fast of a Pentium 3 I can use on it. Next do I need to change any motherboard settings to make it work? Then what kind of memory do I need to use? PC 100, or PC 133? Thanks for all your help.

R1500 XR UPS, Fans?? by Bill Crocker
I just acquired a used Compaq R1500 XR UPS. Are the fans supposed to run constantly, even when it's not running on batteries? I used to have a very similar APC UPS, but the fans only ran when the power failed, and it kicked over to battery power. Thanks, Bill Crocker

IPAQ, how to get into the case?? by Bill Mills
I just bought a IPAQ C800 from a surplus auction. How do I open the case?? I cannot find any latches. There is a plastic brace on the back held by two screws (torx with a pin in the middle) I don't have the right bit to get this brack off. Is this how the case disassembles?
