IMHO, the HP Support site is *very* difficult to navigate, if one is
not there frequently;
in comparison to the Dell Support site. Once you get to the right
place, they probably
have what you need.   I won a Compaq Evo D300v some years ago in a raffle. The
BIOS in it seems far advanced, compared to our 4 Dell Dimension boxes,
because it
is for Enterprise use.
