+pcpilot 181 Posted February 9, 2004 I recently came into a couple old P2 computers by compaq. They seem to have most everything in them but no RAM. What kind of RAM did they take? pc-133? I also noticed that Intel didnt bother to put the cpu speed anywhere on the cpu, or is it in code? I noticed some numbers on the side that look more like a stock number or something. Man, the one computer is the heaviest case Ive ever lifted, even with most stuff inside gone. Compaq have special delivery gorillas to carry this leviathin into the house?

BUFF 8 Posted February 9, 2004 probably PC100 or PC133 SDRAM. If you have the Compaq model no. you should be able to put that into Crucial's memory selector & have it tell you what is needed. I forget exactly the coding system for P2's but it should have markings & you should be able to Google them. Alternatively if you get it running the OS will tell you :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilgrim_uk 0 Posted March 28, 2004 The CPU speed is usally in that code on the case. i.e Deskpro en 450/128 this would be a 450mhz with 128 mb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
