Well, the new one complains in the same regard, and on top of...

Spoke to one of HPs Road Warriors today. Helped him get set-up for some sales event on the road and what not. He (an reportedly his coworkers) are really happy with their brand new HP laptops. No surprise there, given every sales guy loves a new toy, but the when I asked about the OS, it wasn't...

Hello, I tried to find information about the Compaq 216109-001 ML350 System Board, but I haven't succes. The board has Dual-Socket 3 (pga370), four RAM-Slots (I think its SDRAM), 7 PCI-Slots (four of them seem to be 64-Bit) and two other slots I don't know (maybe scsi). Do someone know where I can...

did you discover that little bits are falling off your board ? "MattD.." wrote in message ... Hi all, Anyone got one of these? If so, an unusual request. Can anyone tell me the value of R91 (reverse side near regulation section) and C132?...

I thought I knew a little about computers until I bought this 1850R to learn more about servers and raid setup. Well I am finding I don't really know anything.
