Hi all,

Ok, I have an HP pavillion t461.uk

I want to upgrade the RAM and grahics card. HP don't actually know the spec of my machine despite selling it!!!

So I currently have an Geforce FX5200 and 512MB of RAM. I think the RAM is PC2700 but HP say there is no way of finding out.

I want to find out

a) is my graphics card AGP PCI etc

b)what speed my RAM is and can my machine support PC3200

Is there anything I can do, the advice from HP was we don't know. Great, fecking useless.

I found it was PC3200 by looking in the setup ...

Try CPUz. Its a nice, tiny program and gives you a fair amount of info.

CPU-Z is a freeware that gathers information on some of the main devices of your system.

Unbelievable, you must of been unlucky and had your call answered by a muppet.

Aren't most call centres staffed by muppets?

True, but the level of muppetry is sometimes better than expected

yeah, I think i got the cleaner. They have since responded to my mail though giving the correct details, in fact they had actually sent it whilst I was on the phone waiting! Ah well.
