333?

It is slow. I run 10 ghz but Crysis still wont run smooth.

Yup its one of the few that came with ethernet standard to take direct connections from DSL modems and some even had DSL capable order options, hard to find as I think many are sitting in closets at grandparents desks not touched, being replaced but not yet gotten rid of.

Hey! Sorry I didnt realize I had notifications off and wasnt seeing replies! They made these beige units all the way up to the 4840 where they changed them to jet black so a 4814 is probably what you had they had the tray instead of a slot drive! I actually have 3 now 4 of these and Im going to be selling them off, feel free to shoot me a message on IG if youd like! Always love chatting its Yougotniiick. They did offer most of the USA models in AUS Id bet its a 4814. I have a 4834 thats a P1 and the rest are P2 4824s or up.

That must have been so different to use one for work, and then to be able to enjoy it having drivers and not popping a cd in for anything and everything that you got extra for a system. Dell and Compaq had many servers and I was surprised how much business stuff they made. It was for sure a thing if you had a scanner it was a flat bed and an HP and more then likely an HP deskjet printer in witch you'd put the paper in the wrong way because it sucked it in and printed stuff upside down!

I feel that I actually may have made a discovery with that for a power supply to get it working for you using AT power adapters on an ATX power supply!

@nickdoestechstuff Oh really!? I have been wondering if that would work but wasn't sure about matching the output since compaq also didn't use standard wire colors for output on the original PSUs or label the wires (ugh). That could potentially be a game changer if that works. Is there a way I can send you a message directly? As I would be so grateful to hear how you got this to work.

I am glad some one else shares this! Im going to be shedding a few since I have 3 or 4 of the same kind some times and gotta spread the love! I didnt know there where so many people who loved them! TY for the reply!

I am amped to hear that! I also lived and loved Compaqs I was shocked when my 25 year old friend came over and was like "Whats a compaq!?" he now knows way to much lol! Thank you for the comment!

Thats awesome that its so vintage you cant use it like you could before in a way though. I enjoy some times (more annoyed many times) at trying to find a legacy browser or project to get webpages to load on a browser that is new enough to decode new stuff but will still be able to be installed on old machine with 98/ME

Hey I am sorry to hear that! I sent my 2nd one off to get repaired! So you may be in luck I may be able to get you the unit that I thought was dead thats getting fixed I dont want to hoard any of these and want to make sure any one who has one can keep them going!

​@nickdoestechstuff That is super kind of you. If you happen to have a spare I could buy from you or a place I could go you suggest, I would he extremely grateful. From one maybe crazy spaceship compaq fan to another. Again, thanks for making these videos. I didn't know there were other fans of these left 😊

The power supply I robbed out of my other unit, luckily there are a few online that get you the same power supply. The 4700 series uses the same one as well (with the right cable lengths) Ill try to find you some ebay links to units that work

​@@nickdoestechstuffMan I absolutely love you have been keeping these machines going. They are so unique and getting to the extremely rare levels it seems sadly. I appreciate any help you may have on a new PSU as I said on my other comment as well. Thank you for the tips as well on searching.

Oh course I want people to be able to love these things and keep them alive as long as possible some people are just now getting to that age where these where a happy memory and I am all for making sure people keep that memory alive!

​@nickdoestechstuff Heck yeah and thank you for doing what you are doing. Nice to know I am not the only one who loves these models.

I remember word and number munchers fondly. I have been waiting to find a restore PC or a similar compaq unit with an original hard drive so I can actually see what was on it, I will have to see if I can find that Cyber Troopers game to load onto the PC! Thank you for watching!

Yes very much so like a dev kit but is a real thing! Thank you so much for the comment and watching!

Its a problem! Thank you for watching!

They also made a 4640 which was a 266mhz P2 as well so its very possible you had that!

It probably be a better ebay find but an IDE Hard drive to USB enclosure would be ideal for your task or they make headers for IDE to SATA drive adapters, either of those would work, since modern units dont have IDE, OR just pop the drive into an IDE PC and copy the stuff you want to a USB drive, I can expand further if needed.

@@nickdoestechstuff thanks!

@@EricIsMe10 Of course any time! Also they do make a IDE to sata drive interface on amazon that Ive had decent results with its about 25 bucs! Just type that into amazon its the top rated one! Happy to help

I have a Socket 370 PIII yes a 900Mhz unit, however you can find them on ebay I just went with Coppermine and found quite a few usually you can buy from a high rated seller and its a solid bet

I have not done an OEM load of the software but I do have a 4800 restore and also have a Presario 5160 which should be similar, I will be doing a video on it shortly stay tuned!

Yeah I need to get my editor to re-cut this with my voice over it and just the machine no one needs to see my mug! I appreciate the sarcasm

I really loved the iPaqs they are awesome quirky business machines! Im trying to find a clean gen 2 one actually! Glad some one else appreciates them!

@@nickdoestechstuff hopefully you can find one they're very uncommon, I've Allways liked unusual desktops but I largely stick to laptop's

@@lukedavis436 Im now excitedly checking ebay every other day for a newer iPaq they where much cooler with the round power buttons! I actually just got an HP off ebay I had as a kid Im excited to do a video on that, what laptops do you have?

@@nickdoestechstuff well sticking to the Compaq theme I happen to own an LTE 5280, Armada M300, Presario V5000, F700 and a CQ58, along with a 2100 and a 2500. Cooler machines usually are my XPS M2010, Panasonic CF-28, Alienware M7700, and M9700, and my Beloved Black MacBook. I even have a phone which has an X86 PC inside it.

Thank you so much for the reply! I love these machines I have a few I cant wait to do more videos!

Thank you, my brother used to be an athlete with them, he moved up to gym shark, stuff is oddly solid!

Thank you so much for the reply I am so glad it can bring some good memories for you! A DVD player in my compaq was the first way I ever watched DVD movies to, I can still remember watching "The Cell" with Jennifer Lopez on the FX700 monitor and admiring how advanced this was to do!

I played the sims on my 4660 I had back then and loved every minute of it. I need to install sims on this and play it for a video!

It was truly a unique PC I loved how they look! If you dig it out comment back or find and message me on instagram, its the same name! Id love to see what you do with it!

Very much so I agree, I am going to do a youtube short on cleaning it! I need to work on my filming and content game.

Right! Netgear ran the 90s and 2000s! I wish they where still as simple now as they where then

Oh and that’s the way to call it! It was for sure a rocket in physical looks and speeds especially back when it came out

The stock one in these was from 4gb to 12gb or 16gb I have to find one of mine still had it, nothing makes noises like they do

That’s an interesting idea, more stable than 98 but still works with all the stuff! That may be an ideal OS!

I have added one to a past unit! I will say it’s picky about it but the one I used was a nvdia card I will have to look back and see what it was I have pictures of it stashed some where but it’s totally do able, it also requires you enable pci vga snoop in the bios!

Its unfortunate you dont like them, my channel isn't going to please every one. Cant control if viewers have a good sense of humor.

@@nickdoestechstuff 🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡💩💩💩

My next video will infact be of the unit running with the vintage software that came on it! It will be in 2 weeks! Today I am doing my 4824 which I will have starting but not booting into the OS as It didnt have a drive.

Ahhhh thats crazy I know they where not sold every where also and where incredibly expensive, we had a lower end IBM aptiva which is why Im so happy after all these years I could get this even if its 20 years old now! Thank you for the comment!

I actually have a video coming out today about the 4824 the white one! I played flight simulator 2000 on it and remember being so amped to play it! Thank you for the comment!

Hey Im over hear learning something new every day! I love that riser tbh even thought it wasn't "atx" I didn't know there was a NLX standard! Im looking it up now to learn more! Thank you for that!

They where absolutely a monster back in the day! I am lovingly keeping this one original and going to sleeper PC one I have with a bad main board! Stay tuned!

Yes I sure can! In fact I will upload some today!

Thank you! Yes they are oddly well equipped for such a an old machine!

I 1000% percent agree! I have had my eye on a 2200 for the longest time! I need to pull the trigger when one comes on ebay clean but not asking some crazy amount (like $2000) I agree they are very different even designed different the even the beige compaq desktops then also, the 2200 was a true unicorn! Do you have the matching monitor? Do you use it for vintage games or anything?
