| 66921 | 2002-07-31 02:12:00 | Hi all can any1 tell me what sort of mother board i would need to upgrade my compaq 7480 to bring it in to the present | mainfr8 (1275) | ||
| 66922 | 2002-07-31 11:04:00 | The basic principle is dont buy a brand name computer like Compaq if you want to upgrade. Nearly all the parts are Compaq specific. Your best bet is to ask Compaq what can go into that machine, but the answer may be just peripherals to plug into spare slots and bays. |

| 66925 | 2002-08-01 09:12:00 | Try this pc designer site as a quick guide :- http://www.computerdirect.co.nz/ HOWEVER my guess is that this site does NOT check COMPATIBLITY of the various components but check with them in case it does. then look for the best prices here :- http://www.pricespy.co.nz/ |
