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.
