Default Presario 4712

I am trying to update a Presario 4712, and donate it to a worthy group. I
want to reformat and reinstall the following:
1. Windows (I have a Legal copy).
2. Sound driver: ESS ES1888.
3. Video adapter: Compaq Presario S3 Trio 64V+
4. Modem: Compaq Presario 336-VSC

I do not know if this unit had a restore disk.
I would like to know the type of memory this unit uses, it currently has 24
MB

Any help would be appreciated.

For drivers, go he

The 4712 uses EDO SIMMs, 60ns, non-parity. 8MB is soldered on the
motherboard and two of the 4 SIMM slots have 8MB SIMMs installed. A few
early run units had 4MB SIMMs in all 4 slots. The max SIMM size per slot is
32MB.
The PC shipped with A QuickRestore kit consisting of a CD and a floppy disk.
These likely are no longer available since the 4712 shipped with Windows 95.
