Compaq Motherboard - Impossible to Spec!

[Jarlaxle]

Hi,
I have two computers which I can't get the spec of their motherboard. Both are HP/Compaq.

One is:
Hewlett-Packard
085Ch

Second is:
Compaq
0804h

I've been scouring the web to get any specs on those mobos but it seems so usless :-\

All I want to know is if I can instal DDR2 on those babies and what max mhz they support and it all seems so hard

thx in advance

Re:

Hello,

Well you could look inside your PCs and look for a model number or name printed on the motherboard. You could also inspect the RAM modules to find out.

Or you could simply download Everest Home Edition:

It will bring up the complete specs of your PC.

If your system is at least a year old or more, or has an AMD processor, there's a high chance that they don't support DDR2.

Lol, I was halfway installing everset when it hit me...
I don't have the computers near me "so why the **** am I installing it on my computer!"

I did get the mobo's models from CPU-Z when I last checked the puters and it's
One is:
Hewlett-Packard
085Ch

Second is:
Compaq
0804h

odd enough nothing on compaq website on any of those models
and it's intel processor... so any difference on the ddr2?

if it is intel pentium 4, then it is very likely to be DDR2

Cool, and should I go for a safe 400mhz?

 

[joshd]

well have you installed everest and checked for certain yet? i don't understand what is going on with that.

Depends on how old the thing is though. If its 2 years old, don't even think that its DDR 2.
