This is quick note to say how to set up the WAP / GPRS/ Internet / Data Access on your Samsung B2100. Simplicity is the key here, only enter the GPRS settings no DNS server details or anything else. This is for Vodafone by the way.

DX2200 Upgrade Guide

Limitations of Upgrading your HP DX2200

Via Trial and error I have tested various parts in my DX2200 and now I shall share the findings.

The HP guide is very acuarte for the DX2200 and can be found here. (Quick Specs)

The fastest processor avaiable for the DX2200 is:

LinkDual Core: Intel Pentium D 925 Dual Core Processor

Single Core (HT): Intel Pentium 4 541 Processor

64 bit Support on DX2200

Some of the high end processors do support 64 bit

A bit noisey?

The DX2200 processor fan is a bit noisey and this may annoy some people I have swaped mine for a Arctic Cooling F8 , which is nice and quiet, the psu fan is nice a quiet so does need swaping out.

Memory

really is only upgradable to 2 GB on the DX2200 which a bit odd. I have tried 2 x 2GB DIMMs and they don't work . . .

Solid State Drive

Being the first PC I have owned with SATA, finally means I can use a SSD, which I would recommend over all other upgrades. The DX2200 boots in a snap and pauses are a thing of the past.
