Compaq Evo N610c battery problem by Loaded2
Hi! I recently bought a new Compaq laptop. When I charge the battery for the first time, I use it when charged only at 35-45%. Since that day, the battery discharge very fast, from 100% to 60% in 15 min. Any idea to resolve this problem? My battery is a Compaq PP2041H 14.4 V, part number 311222-001.

So what's the fastest CPU, how much memory, and how big of a hard drive can this thing take? It appears according to compaq it's 256MB of PC-100 and 120GB hard drive, unless someone else has some unoffical information. Not sure about the CPU though. Thanks. -GV
