What motherboard in S6900NX?
Does anyone know which motherboard is used in this box? And if going from a
single stick of RAM (512) to 2 sticks will boost the performance? Other than keeping out of swapspace? Running WinXP-Home. Thanks! |

Some motherboard info is he
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...name=c00061640 As you can see it's an Asus board. As for the RAM, going to 1GB would only help if you are either opening multiple large applications or are scanning high resolution photos into the system. 512MB is ample for most users, HH "n.heyen" wrote in message news:YjRvc.37156$pt3.33633@attbi_s03...

Thanks, I'd found that before. I am looking for a more specific details as
to which ASUS board it might be. And with memory still being so dirt cheap, would going to 2 sticks improve the speed? Or just make it harder to get into hard drive swap space? Thanks!

Is this it?
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/g...name=c00068769 BTW, just because the MB is a certain make/model does not mean it is necessarily compatible with the manufacturer's generic BIOS version. Attempting to flash to the ASUS bios would void your warranty and possibly render your PC completely inoperable. The answer to the memory question would depend on what you are using the computer for.. "n.heyen" wrote in message news:KyQwc.19418$%F2.225@attbi_s04... Thanks, I'd found that before.

PLS re-read my response. The RAM querry was answered. Do NOT attempt to use
a BIOS update from Asus on your Compaq unless you are willing to risk turning your PC into a doorstop. HH "n.heyen" wrote in message news:KyQwc.19418$%F2.225@attbi_s04...

I don't want to upgrade the BIOS to the generic supplied by the
manufacturer. OEM boards often have features added, left out or changed. What I want to do is setup MBM to accurately reflect the temp and fan sensors, and the setup asks for the MB make and model. Thanks for the warnings though. Norman "HH" wrote in message ... PLS re-read my response. The RAM querry was answered.

If there is a selection for the SK8N Asus board, try it. Do you see any
hardware monitoring info (CPU temp, Fan speed, etc.) in the BIOS? If not, the board might not have the necessary sensors. HH "n.heyen" wrote in message news:qeNxc.6002$jw.1038@attbi_s04...
