"Purchased a P2-266 quite some time ago. Upgraded my Compaq until I had enough upgrades to build a seperate PC. Reassembled the Compaq. Located all but one driver needed to get it running just like new. The driver I was missing: the DVD driver that enable the onboard DVD decoder. Called Compaq:
50$ for the driver/software, no way they would offer it for free. Spent ~$1200 on their product, and they want to charge me for freakin' drivers! Never will I buy another Compaq, nor suggest to anyone to do so. That PC is still running, but the DVD player is useless because without that driver, it will not use the decoder, only software, which the PC does not have enough power to do so effectively."
"Good price on a 64MB dimm, until shipping was added. Needed it pronto, so went ahead and made the purchase. Shipping for a $10 dimm was an additional $10 [UPS Ground]. Will not purchase from again simply because this is a practice I do not endorse, and it took 2 days to process my order, taking more than a week to receive it [about average, but not for the cost I paid for shipping]."
