Q: Compac Presario 1685 Laptop... need info

G

Gerry Wolfe

Greetings all...

I recently picked up the subject laptop at a garage sale, of course
without any documentation or software. Compaq is no help, the laptop
is too old.

It has 32MB RAM, 3GB HD and a 300MHz K6 processor. I've installed
Win98SE and some simple apps.

My questions:

1. How do you get into BIOS during bootup to update/check CMOS
settings?

2. I wanna increase RAM, but it seems that you need to use an
"expansion slot" to add RAM. Any experiences with just replacing the
existing RAM module rather than trying to find now-obsolete Compaq
specific products?

advTHANKSance,
Gerry
