Is this the slowest computer on the forum? Can I use standard memory for it?

Compaq Presario 5474.

lol
I think there are slower computer on the forums than yours

 

[IcemanJer]

pooruser, no, you don't have the slowest computer here.
but you probably do have one of crappiest.

Don't worry, there is still time for you to sell that Compaq and get a real computer.

I have a older Compaq laptop and it hold up fine.
just have to remove all that bloatware that Compaq puts on it then its fine.

 

[Paulson]

I have a Compaq 4712

anyways, just delete compaq's pre-installed crap and you'll be happy as pie.

 

[pooruser]

Did trash the Compaq resource eaters. Now running 96% from startup. It actually runs fine. But can anyone help me out.
I need to have more memory, can it run with standard PC100 memory or do I have to buy expensive Compaq memory?

New to the forum so excuse the strange html code on the bottom, should be my 'Rig' page.

[urameatball]

Way faster than mine!!

 

[Wedesdo]

standard is good. the &quot;compaq&quot; ram is the SAME as the standard ram you mind online or in best buy, etc, only it's marked up 500%

 

[IcemanJer]

Yes, you can just use any standard memory to upgrade your computer.

 

[shawnmos]

lol, nope. i've posted using a 286 before...

 

[pooruser]

Phhiiuu! Sounds good, I thought I've been screwed. Compaq memorys are 100% more expensive than standard ones, at least in Sweden.
While on the subject (Compaq). The computer looks nice but compaq have a habit of providing an extremely crappy rescue disc which is not working properly by the way (don't mention the 'support' they give), some people told me that it is also a special version of Windows 98 for it. I am getting scared, can it run a standard Win98SE OS?
Thanks for the help on the memory mystery.


:disgust:

 

[shawnmos]

yes, of course. it's a normal computer it just has POS parts.

 

[pooruser]

Thanks!
Getting late in Sweden, good night.
