I'm still Dial Up Bitch and will remain Dial Up Bitch until I Frankenstien my own machine. I've certainly had enough of the Compaq or for that matter any prepackaged, proprietary lump of shit machine. I've done all I can, and have had my brother, two comcast tech's, a majority of HP tech's and myself working on this and it's over....done.......my machine has no desire for speed. *kicks cute little tower*. Argh!
