| 1204682 | 2011-05-24 22:08:00 | If you do a google search for 'ms-6541 ver 1.0' (motherboard ID number), the #1 or 2 result is a link to this locked thread: pressf1.pcworld.co.nz It has info that might be incorrect for some people, and i just spent a good bit of time tracking down what i think is the proper information in certain cases. Is there any way that you guys can update that thread, to help out people that might search for that motherboard in the future? The info i tracked down is really difficult to piece together, unless you know exactly what to look for. Here is what i wanted to add, thanks if you can edit it into that thread. If not, maybe this thread will start showing up on a google search as well, lol. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Check what's printed on top of your CPU... if your MS-6541 ver 1 motherboard has an Intel p4 SL6GQ CPU (2 GHz, 400 bus, L2 cache - 512).. then it most likely belongs to a Compaq Presario 6000T-6RPXE1.

| 1204685 | 2011-05-25 00:23:00 | dude, that thread is 7 years old and was last posted in 5 years ago yet it's the #1 link when you google search that motherboard. that's why i wanted to try and add this info to it. Anyone who still has that motherboard these days probably has little technical knowledge anyway all the better to help them out, then. ;) |

| 1204687 | 2011-05-25 08:22:00 | I think the problem will have been sorted by now. From another PF1 members sig (www.monster-munch.com) :lol: I didnt post that because someone is wrong... the information in that thread is correct for people with certain computers... however that motherboard was in several different models of computers, and you wouldn't know it unless you did a lot more digging around the internet. And im not doing it to help the person in that thread, im doing it to help people like me who find themselves with that motherboard and need to track down the proper specs/drivers for it. |

| 1204689 | 2011-05-25 08:32:00 | Apart from the fact is a very old thread, most people wouldn't even bother looking that thread up, they would ask a new question if they needed help with that board. Oh BTW you comment in the original post Check what's printed on top of your CPU... if your MS-6541 ver 1 motherboard has an Intel p4 SL6GQ CPU (2 GHz, 400 bus, L2 cache - 512).. then it most likely belongs to a Compaq Presario 6000T-6RPXE1. I've got one of those boards in my junk pile someplace, and I can tell you right now with 100% certainty, it did NOT come out of any HP /Compaq Computer. I also DO have the legit drivers for it on my server for future reference if ever needed. |

| 1204691 | 2011-05-25 09:31:00 | Apart from the fact is a very old thread, most people wouldn't even bother looking that thread up, they would ask a new question if they needed help with that board. I stated that that thread was the #1 result for a google search on the ID that is printed on that motherboard. It's not like i spent months going through old forums to find that thread. The internet is littered with questions about that motherboard on various forums... and none (that i could find) include the information that i provided. I imagine that if someone asked the question today, they would be given the same information that is seen nearly every other time the question has been asked. Basically, taking 30 seconds to add this information to that post might save someone a few hours (like i did) of digging around the internet. Dont understand what the big deal is, i'm just trying to help people out... have you guys never experienced the frustration of tracking down obscure motherboard/driver information? It sucks, lol. Oh BTW you comment in the original post I've got one of those boards in my junk pile someplace, and I can tell you right now with 100% certainty, it did NOT come out of any HP /Compaq Computer. I also DO have the legit drivers for it on my server for future reference if ever needed. Yeah, i imagine it was used by several different manufacturers. Thanks though, i'll look you up if i need to try the drivers you have. but then this thread will most likely be 5 or 6 years old before someone might think to dig through thousands of threads :p:lol: :illogical I dont think you understand how google search works... |
