I've had the Compaq 1700T for over a year now. It's been pretty good. I've run Red Hat, Slackware, and now Debian Woody on it. To be honest, you'd be better off perhaps spending more money and AVOIDING compaq. Their support is terrible. I can tell you many, many horror stories. I don't know h

I8100 BIOS

2002-03-01 Thread Goran Ristic
Hi *. Is there any chance to get a BIOS for Dell's 8100, wich allows to manipulate the clockrating of prozessor and chipset? I noticed, the 933Mhz prozessor is the same as the 1,13 GHz, just throtteld down. The actual BIOS does not allow setting timings and change the speed of prozessor. Thanks.

Compaq Presario 1722 experiences ?

I am thinking of buying a Compaq Presario 1722. Since I intend to run Debian on it, I thought I could ask for some advice here. Specifically: - Does the built-in ethernet work ? I think it's a Conexant chip, but I'm not entirely sure. On some (apparently similar) Presarios, it is indeed a Conexan
