while i’m here, the machine is getting a little upgrade to a DX2-66. this is the AMD version of the cpu, with an adorable windows 3.1 logo on it

normally a machine like this would require an Intel overdrive (ODPR) processor in the upgrade slot, but Compaq VERY unusually offers a jumper setting to ground the extra pin on the slot, allowing you to use a plain old processor

huge thanks to adrian’s digital basement for that tip!
