|| Hi BR545, you raised another couple of questions for me.
|| I was under the impression when I bought this computer as
| an "upgradeable"
|| that the maximum upgrade was 512MB for the RAM and
maximum
| hard drive
|| upgrade was 40GB. I printed out the specs from Compaq and
| it says
|| "upgradeable to 512MB (SyncDRAM DIMM required). I assumed
| this meant that
|| the maximum module allowed was 256MB and they both had to
| be the same size.
|| Are you saying that I could add a 512 MB module instead
of
| 256 MB for a
|| total of 768MB?
|| Also for the hard drive, the specs say I have one 3.5"
| internal drive
|| bay/spindles for hard drive and one 3.5" internal open
for
| expansion. Are
|| you saying I do not have to limit the expansion to 40GB?
| You mentioned
|| keeping it to 120GB or smaller, I thought I could only go
| to a total of
|| 80GB. I thought that internal "stuff" ( I haven't a clue
| what it is) keeps
|| me from adding any more than 40 GB, that the capability
of
| other parts
|| limits how much I can add, in this case only 40GB. Is
this
| not true?
|| Thanks in advance for any clarification,
|| Glenda
