I just installed linux on a COMPAQ PRESARIO 7360...
Linux installs, all the onboard stuff (vid,par,ide,serial,usb,sound) works, but
it's not a
good box to use for your linux projects.
The BIOS is totally braindead, does not setup with discreet irqs. For instance,
it
insists on video and sound to use the SAME irq. it works... but when you drag
some
text while playing sounds... you get the dreaded "motor-boat" sound effect.
It'll make a great work box, but not for most people...
Conclusion... trash the motherboard and install something else. :')
One other thing... this is a amd k6-2 compat board, which Compaq claims a top
speed
of 500mhz... they're wrong, it does 550 no problems and works very well with
pc100
simms...
