Compaq charges way too much for their run-of-the-mill, incompatible
hardware. Find a decent little local distributor who will let you bring
things back for a full refund within 3 to 5 days and build your own
system. PCs are pretty much commodity items these days, and if you buy
quality components you won't get burned. Plus, you'll know exactly what
you're getting, will have the documentation on how to set the jumpers on
that combo-fantastic-47-functions-in-one-chip card in your machine.
