Ive found compaq's to be too internally proprietary for upgrading/fixing (maybe thats changed - I havent bought one in 7+ years because I got screwed twice that way) - I found DELLs blew power supplies alot (4 offices with 8 servers, all blew them on an average of once every 4 to 7 months) - that may have changed too. These days I go for cloney clones I can fix and upgrade with redily available parts. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
