Hi HH,

Thank you for your reply. I understand what you are saying, but what is
inside shows that it is a 440BX chipset.
- I will recheck though.

I think that Compaq used this chipset because they wanted the
motherboard to be upgradable for its processor, e.g. up to PIII 550 MHz
which would need a 100 MHz FSB.

Please let me know what you think.

Regards,
Tony

higher
settings are for a PII 300 or 333. I've not run across any Compaq,

Presario
or DeskPro, that used a 440BX chipset with a PII processor, at least

nothing
lower than a PII 350 or 400, which required the 100MHz bus.

Hello HH,

The chipset is an Intel 440BX chipset, and the label on the inside

of
the system unit says that it will support faster and gives the

switch
settings for it.

The Technical manual from the web-site also says the same, but I
haven't managed to find the fan pin-out yet.

I think it is connector P15, but I am not certain.
I hope that you can help me with this please.

Regards,
Tony
