No sound beeps but green LEDs on the motherboard, fans working, floppy seek and hard...

And keeping with that subject, I have a Windows XP Home CD and understand that I can...

I have an older Pavillion XL766. I want to upgrade the memory. The documentation online says there are three memory banks - each capbable of taking 256mb of ram for a total of 768mb. I'm sure this documentation was published before 512 and larger modules were even made. My question is will the...

Hi, I have an *old* Compaq LTE 5280 that I'm trying to set up for a friend. Nothing fancy...load up 95 or 98 and get it on the net. (preferably 98 so I don't have to worry about partition size issues) This laptop has interchangeable floppy and CD-ROM drives. I can only have one in at a time....
