I have a Compaq Presario 5225 computer. It came with an AMD K6-2 38 processor. Recently I replaced the processor with an AMD K6-2 53 processor I obtained off of EBay. It works except that the compute still thinks it is a 380. From reading other posts, it seems I need to change the jumpe settings....

Just my views on upgrades. 1. Bang to bucks, RAM has about the biggest pay off followed by CPUs 2. Know the motherboard and it's limits and you won't need to ask if it's worth upgrading. 3. Little hole in the wall shops carrying used machines often have the best prices on used CPUs that no...

Is there a way to use my machine as is and upgrade the processor to a faster unit. Mine is 1.3 now but a 2.0-2.3 would be nice! Thanks! -- Jim Nichols From Computers to Coffee Makers www.sgimarketing.com "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Arthur C. Clarke

An out-of-town family member has a Compaq Presario purchased in December 1998. It's a tower and includes a Pentium II 450 processor. It has the standard 128 meg of RAM the system came with. Everything is standard as it was installed by Compaq at the factory. I don't have the exact system model...

Hey all , Fisrt post here. I am planning on putting a 260GB harddrive in my tower and removing the 40GB that's in there. I just bought windowsXP full with sp2. I've just heard some people say that my presario would not run right with a hard drive that large. Any ideas about this ???

I have no plans on going to a new PC as this one is still working fine. However there are some things I would like to do to make it work better. Replacing the 800 MHz AMD Athlon processor (slot). Any ideas of a processor I could install with minumal trouble? My mother board can go up to a 1...

I've got an old DP4000 here. It has192Mb RAM but that's about the only thing that's high spec about it. Upgrading the HDD is easy of course but what about the CPU? Is it just a 'lift and drop' operation or is it less straightforward than that (and if so, is a swap out of the...

I just bought this and know nothing about it.I think it has 128 MB RAM but I'm not sure. Is it possible to upgrade with 256 MB extra PC133 SO-DIMM? How much can it handle and is it important what kind of so-dimm I get? I also want a new hard drive. Same question, how much can it handle? Best...

How do we determine the multiplier? I have installed an AMD K6- 300 MHz from a 2256 presario into a 5304 presario- 133 MHz. When I go to turn the computer on - nothing happens, just a blank screen, except for a blinking cursor. I've located most of the infor- mation but unsure about two things. ...

Hello, The HD in my Deskpro ENS/P800, originally 10Gb, now 20 Gb, is getting too small for my needs. The Small Form Factor lay out gives no room for a 2ndHD (I have an other one 20Gb not in use), so I wonder if the bios would accept a larger capacity HD, 30 or 40 Gb. An other solution for my...

Office Max has the R3000Z for $399.99 after rebates. It comes with a DVD drive. My 906US has a DVD/CD-RW combo unit. Can I take the combo DVD-CD/RW from the 906US and put it in place of the DVD unit in my new R3000Z. Thanks
