Hi, does anyone know anything about this mobo or where I could find any
information. It's about 2 years old, and the last BIOS update seems to have
been december 2002. I want to know what the memory can be expanded to and
if theres any limitations on hard drive size it can run. Can anyone help?
Cheers.

look at www.crucial.com and see if they recognize your model.

Have you looked at the Compaq site ? A google web search for "compaq
07d0h" gets 22 hits. A groups search may get you more.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I've tried Crucial.com, they're site says it can
be expanded to 2GB, but after checking it for me they said 1GB. I can't
find much from Compaq's online info and what I can find seems to be
conflicting. I've already tried expanding the memory to 768MB and the
system became very unstable, but I don't know if that could be due to me
using 2 different sized modules? Even though the two slots are seperate
banks. I haven't been able to find out anything about harddrive sizes it
can handle. I'd really like to find out for certain what the system's
capabilites are, and if possible if there are any more BIOS updates
available. This is the system's full details:
