I have an old "ProSignia" (can't find a real model # no matter how hard I try) that refuses to see more than 8M. I've thrown every kind of RAM known to man in the thing. The "press F1 on reboot" thing is very annoying as well. I do marvel at the FBSD VM stuff; it's just a measly 486/66 and it is still able to run http/https, samba, dhcp, mail, sshd, web-proxy, and a hacked up mail-web gateway with more speed than you would think could come out of a 486 with 8M of memory. The thing you have to remember with Compaq is that you are screwed if you use anything without a Compaq part number on it. Support stops the minute you throw non-Compaq parts in it. Makes tech support easy for *them*, but...
