info on a presario 4504
I just acquired a 4504 from a elderly lady, who had the computer just sitting in her daughter's room for well over 7 years! LOL! The computer looks new, considering it has a BIOS version dated 1997. I've already installed windows 98, by removing the hard drive and starting the first portion of the installation with the hard drive connected to my computer. I've also replaced the ROM drive, with a CD-RW. The computer is very responsive, but it has only 16mb of ram and a 1mb video card. I installed a PCI video card, but the system only recognized the 1mb onboard card. Didn't see anything in the BIOS to disable it. Hmmm......? I would like to know if there is away to disable the onboard video card, so I can use atleast a 8mb video card. And, what type of memory does the presario 4504 use.......And or is it upgradable? I really like the small size of the computer, and will definitely use it as a secondery computer some how, if not just to have drivers loaded on the 2GB HDD or just use it for "Online" purposes only. Any information on this matter would be truly appriciated, thanks! -- ICH |
