I dunno, i know the older pissarios were crap but i like mine. It has all standard components no more proprietary crap, at least in mine. Its a 5838.

Its got:
4x4x24 philips cd burner
Had 32x cd rom now its got 72x true-x Kenwood
Had sb pci 128 now its got a sb live value
3dfx Voodoo3 1000 AGP
Athlon classic 500
192mb ram came with 128

None of the stuff in it was onboard. I made shure it wasnt proprietary b4 i bought it. Even compaq's duron lower end computers dont have onboard stuff it is all standard

BAN Tbirdinside, and AMDmeltdown

So, what you are saying is that the only Piss-ario component you have right now is the box?

That´s one way to get around the problem!

When it´s bad, it´s still very good!

Nope all that stuff came like that from the factory except for the extra 64mb and the kenwood true-x and the sb live.

The only thing that is nearly equivalent to the pain of owning a Compaq is the pain of having to fix one. In case everyone doesn't know it, you cannot just format a disk and reinstall the OS like you can with virtually every other PC on the planet - no, Compaq forces you to download their proprietary drivers (you get to try to figure out which ones are the right ones!), and go through a ton of configuration issues just to get the machine back up and running (maybe). It turns out that there is a hidden partition on the HD which contains, of all things, part of the BIOS code! Trash this and you are in real trouble. I realize this helps Compaq make money on repairs, but it sure doesn't help anyone else!

 

[LordKaos]

Have you thought about , why would COMPAQ want to help their clients?

They only want to make money, Fu_ck the clients!

Compaq uses crap components. I’ve found numerous hardware atrocities in Compaq Deskpro systems including, 66MHz max bus speed on PII CPUs over 350MHz, Up to 4 different brands of RAM memory in one system! (all with the Compaq logo), Quantum Bigfoot hard drives, and more.

And don’t even try to upgrade one.

I don't buy them but I work for a large corporation that does. I have to support that Compaq crap some times.

You're the average Compaq fan? 😉

I'm glad there's not many Compaq supporters then 😉

Well you post here with the thing, that's already something 😉

Fatburger: How's your stress level? Bad things never seem to die, just get regurgitated over and over again...6'1 and 180. Then how exactly did you come up with your handle? Sounds more like a reasonably lean burger.
