Compaq Deskpro (built 1998)
Hi,
I bought this Deskpro used in 2002. It's got 64 MB of RAM. The former owner said that this could be upgraded to 256 MB. This RAM is in two of three RAM slots on the mainboard. I wonder what sort of RAM (2*128 MB SDRAM ? 1*256 MB SDRAM ? ) could be put in there instead of those two RAM modules. Glad for any advice. Christoph. |

Without the model no one can help!
But you can go to www.crucial.com to see what you can find?! Bill "Christoph Bobrowski" wrote in message ... Hi, I bought this Deskpro used in 2002. It's got 64 MB of RAM.

There is almost no information on the make or the the serial number. All I
have is the "series" PD1005. On the case, there is just "Compaq Deskpro". Christoph "Christoph Bobrowski" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ... Hi, I bought this Deskpro used in 2002. It's got 64 MB of RAM.

Christoph Possible to take a picture and post to a binaries group somewhere so we could look at it and maybe recognize it? 1998 Would most likely be the 2000/4000/6000 series. I think the EP/EN's came out after that. Is it a mainboard with a single big slot in the center where a riser board plugs in and has the ISA/PCI slots? Also you can look on the system board for an part number or spare part number, both are 6 digits a - and three more digits, sometimes the last three will have letters and numbers like -B21. You can plug that in a search and usually find a hit to a page that may list the model of the machine. Also if you do find a spare part number, search for the "service quick reference guide" in .pdf format and download and search for that part in it. |
