Found a FIC AZ31 MB manual which covers the FIC/UWAVE MB Compaq uses in this system, but want a user manual showing how to open the case, change the covers, change optical drives, etc. This is a 5000 series Compaq Presario 5WV270 DESKTOP not a notebook.

FIC AZ11 (First International Computer {Inc}

3 Ram Memory slots.
Supports SDR Sdram at 100MegaHertz, or 133MHz. (PC100, and PC133 respectively)

Maximum Total Amount is 1.5GB
Maximum Amount for EACH ram memory slot is 512MB. (1/2GB.)

Uses the VIA KT133 motherboard chipset,
(Northbridge - VIA VT8363
Southbridge - VIA VT82C686A/B)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_VIA_chipsets#Slot_A_and_Socket_A

Socket A processor socket for AMD processors. (Also referred to as Socket 462)

FIC AZ31

3 Ram Memory slots
Same type of ram memory as above, same total amount, and amount for each ram memory slot.

Uses the VIA KT133A motherboard chipset.
(Northbridge - VT8363A
Southbridge - VT82C686B

Socket A processor socket.

According to my sources a Compaq Presario 4090us is supposed to use an FIC AZ31 motherboard.
FIC = First International Computer, Inc.)

I don't have a motherboard manual available, but MAY have a motherboard layout.

Supporting Data:

Specifications from HP Support: (HP bought out Compaq)

1) Processor:
AMD Duron 900
Maximum Frequency Rate: 900MegaHertz
Front Side Bus: (FSB) 200MHz
Voltage: 1.6 Volts (DC)
Wattage used at maximum capability: 36.5 Watts
Part Number: (Top of Processor case. Heatsink, and thermal paste removed)
D900AUT1B

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_Duron_microprocessors#Duron_.22Spitfire.22_.28Model_3.2C_180_nm.29

2) Ram Memory:
Maximum Total Amount: 768MB
Maximum Amount for EACH ram slot: 256MB
SDR Sdram at 100MHz (PC100)

[Note* SDR Sdram is Single Data Rate Sdram, ram memory. Misnomer of just naming it Sdram is incorrect. All ram memory from SDR up to DDR3, IS Sdram]

3) Harddrive: 30B IDE harddrive. Should be a Quantum Fireball LCT20. (Part Number: QM30000-LD-A)

4) Motherboard Chipset: Sources state that it's a VIA KT133 chipset.
[Chip and Chipset are slang terms for I.C., or Integrated Circuit]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VIA_chipsets#Slot_A_and_Socket_A

As you can see in the chart reading across from KT133, this chipset supports AP graphics cards that are 4X. Same thing is stated in the specifications from HP Support.

5) The HP Support specifications also state that the mobo (MOtherBOard) has one Primary IDE header for an IDE harddrive, one Secondary IDE header for an IDE optical drive, and one IDE header for a Floppy Disk drive.

Motherboard layout for an FICAZ34 mobo, which I believe is the same, in an additional comment to follow.

here is the url which has a pic and all the details

Thanks for using FixYA!

I found the manual for my computer motherboard. Thanks for your help.

500Mhz CPU use DDR333/400 memories. majority are used in MAC.
800Mhz CPU use DDR2 400/533/667 Mhz.
look like either you cna change the CPU or change meories again to match them up.

Fiend your solution direct from intel. Here is your solution....
