============
	Another good morning, TOM.

 TW> Another problem with Word Usage.
 TW> The Compaq system is NOT a Liquid cooling system.

	I do not have the cooler in hand at this moment, Tom, it is all together in
the machine.

 TW> As I mentioned to Ed it is a Heat Pipe System which is variation of
 TW> Air Cooling.

	I could swear ( I do not ) that I heard some gurgling when I did have the
cooler, c/w pipe, in hand and I shook it. Yesterday, I spent a few minutes on
Bing, looking for some information and ended up helpless. I have done repairs
on small fridges for sailboats and the welding on the ends of that cooler pipe
and the one on these fridges are the same type thus my references to a cooling
agent. Not confirmed in anyway though, just an impression. But your reference
to copper being the radiator medium is fair, all parts of this cooler were
copper.

 TW> TRUE Liquid cooling has a Fluid Cooled "Heat Sink" on the CPU
 TW> itself and a Radiator system and "Coolant Pump" located remotly with the
 TW> the Liquid being transfered between the Heat Sink and the Radiator by
 TW> Hoses

	There is no room in a laptop for such an involved system, it has to be
"passive", to say the least.

	Reply # 2.

 TW> Free Linux CPU Temperature Monitoring Software

 TW> Linux has had a few effective temperature monitoring packages out there
 TW> for the last few years. It should be easy to install and configure such
 TW> software programs for users who are well-versed with the Linux operating
 TW> system. Most of these packages require a recent release of the Linux
 TW> kernel.

	Thanks for the reference, Tom. Paul also has a good one. At the moment, the
Presario is idle and might never see U'u again, it runs fine on XP SP3.  I
might had that no monitoring PRG is good unless there are probes in the machine
and this is relatively a recent advantage. The Presario is not blessed with as
many probes ( sensors ) as my Acer. Only two, the THRM and the HD. It does not
say where the THRM ( thermal ? ) is located. It seems to report CPU results but
this is only an assumption on my part.

	Reply # 3.

 TW> IF the manual says it will only accecpt 1 gig it is TRUE. Unless there
 TW> was a BIOS upgrade to raise that limit for the machione and it had been
 TW> applied.
 TW> As for the Speed of the Memory anthing higher will work, at the
 TW> Slower speed of course! All other memory parameters must be equal to
 TW> what is recommended. Using slower sticks can cause problems.

	I do not agree with you here, Tom. It has been my experience in many instances
that these were printed limits as at the time this was the most, the largest
size that was on the market. I oversized HDs in many Thinkpads, this is not the
same problem for sure. When I get the 1 G RAM, I will also include one of the
256 MBs one and report to you. Be patient.
