    « on: September 04, 2008, 05:42:40 AM »
    I got this really small desktop compaq but I dont know what model it is an I got it for free so I dont really have anything to it.  But I dont know the RAM an dont know how to get to the board to find out.  Its a really slim skinky type.

        Do you think they may be service tags or ID numbers?

        Try looking on their website:

              Do you think you can look on Google Images for a picture of something that looks like your computer?

                    What kind of details?

                    So now we know it's a Compaq Ipaq. Good.
                    Go to the Compaq website and find the model number.
