My main box recently went bubye. While waiting oin parts I acquired a Compaq PRESARIO 6000 6234SE. It is chugging along on 512 mb. This machine has only 2 memory slots. My question is what is the maximum memory this machine will support? Also, I am wondering what kind of video card slot it has. My old PCI video CARDS are too big for the slots on this machine.(Nvidia GeForce 2 MX and a GeForce MX4000)If it GOES online then for memory I would try crucial and use their hardware scanner.

As for the graphics card... You might have to take a picture of the motherboard if you don't know slot types.

ISA: Now obsolete, I don't expect to see any of these on that computer. Maybe the odd one though.

PCI: Rapidly becoming obsolete, depending on the motherboard size I would expect to see 2-5 of these on that computer. (This should be what your graphics cards will plug into)

AGP: Now obsolete, You may have one of these again depending on the motherboard type.

PCI-E: Industry norm now, however I don't expect to see any of these in there as it wasn't invented until 2004.

I am going on the premise that your PC is one of the Compaq Presario 6000 series, that was around at APPROXIMATELY the year 2000.Thank you Accessless. Will try the Crucial tool. As for the graphics card I would suspect AGP as my standard PCI cards don't fit.You may have onboard video if you're plugged into the VGA connector located on the motherboard.Yes, it does have onboard video. However, after using Crucial's tool and determining that this rig is maxed @ 512 mb I decided it wasn't worth bumping up the video card. Amazon has shipped my new psu anyway, so hopefully I'll have that in LESS than a week and have my main 'puter back up and running. Thanx for the help fellas!
