Hi. I also have a Presario 425. But I have a problem. I want to expand it with a dx4 to 100mhz, but the system becomes unstable. Can you tell me how you put the jumpers in your presario with a 100mhz dx4? Have you had to do anything else, apart from changing the processor and changing the jumpers? …

I solved it with an 80mbs hd. the problem is that in the bios-setup has only 55 types and can not be entered manually, as in a generic bios.

I have formatted C and I have installed msdos 6.22. but the beginning …
