I am trying to locate some specs on the Compaq Presario 2286 computer. What
I found so far is that it is a Cyrix 333MHz machine with a 4GB hard drive
and 32MB RAM. The reported RAM, however, is only 28MB - where did the other
4MB go? Also, I know the Cyrix name and just a bit about it, but how does
the CPU compare to the Pentium line - what is it equivalent to?

Google search did not get me a spec for the Presario, and www.compaq.com was
not responding. Also, what is the hot key to get into the BIOS? I managed to
activate it by pressing all the common keys, but I have not determined which
specific key it was (alt S, del, ins, etc).

Thank you for any help.

Peter
