Hi everyone. Can the Intel s3300t and/or s3600t series chasis have 2 hard drive slots? Because I'm using my machine as a media center, I'd like to upgrade to a 10k RPM drive but hopefully not waste the existing 720gig HD. Thanks in advance!

Thanks chklin. Because you weren't able to get the Q9300 to work, would you suggest my holding off from buying one to try on my s3300t?

For those of you wanting to upgrade your CPU to the Q9300, I noticed that in the s3400/3500t CPU configs, the Q9300 (65W) is supported (as per the HP site, "Core 2 Quad Q9300 (Y) (2.5GHz /1333 MHz) 6 MB L2 cache; Duo Core (65W)". Looking online to purchase one, all Q9300 units have a 95W...

OK. I'll chance it and get a Q9300. I haven't found a site yet that sells a 65W one. I only see 95W Q9300s (newegg, tigerdirect, etc.)...Would someone help me out w/ a shop link?

Do you think the QuadCore Q9300 800mhz will work on my s3300t with the factory default BIOS v5.06? If not, I hope grandmaster can dump his BIOS for us!!!

For the longest time, I had config troubles bet. HDHR & VistaMC on my s3300t. Also, Vista OS didn't help things much. After purchasing a Hauppauge HD-PVR as well, I realized that VistaMC just wasn't the best PVR for Windows. In the end, I settled on Win XP Pro (I wiped out my default OS) and use...

act1: I presume you're using a wireless connection to access the internet? If so, use HP chat under customer support and they will resolve your problem.

**** STANDBY/RESUME FIX**** In case this helps anyone, I found an "MCE Standby Tool" that I'm testing out now. I was able to resume from standby successfully on my first try but will explore other usages soon... http://slicksolutions.eu/mst.shtml The app is free, doesn't require MCE and is...

Thx. omjeremy & Archaea. How ironic: I wiped Vista Ult. off my HP because of standby/wake problems even after thorough event/task viewer deletions and fixes! I'll search this forum in hopes of finding more info! Also, the keyboard I'm using is the PS2 standard keyboard that came w/ my Slimline.

**** Sleep Problem Help **** I have an s3300t C2D CPU / 8500GT GPU and installed Win XP Pro SP3. I can't seem to wake up my HTPC from standby. (FYI--my standby seems to shut down correctly and the blue light at the top turns orange.) 1) I can't seem to find the standby mode selection in the...

Topic: Curious about "extreme" upgrades to Intel s3xxx series... I've always been interested in buying another one, stripping out its components and trying to make it as hardcore of a gaming/CPU intensive-quality, noise-doesn't-matter kind of PC as possible since I love the slimline chasis...

Thanks for your response omjeremy. The tech support didn't know if a BIOS would be released for the s3300t series. If you've had prior experience w/ HP, do you intuitively think that HP will ever release a BIOS upgrade to support the lower-end quad cores? I know Intel is releasing new C2D...

You need to provide more info as to what are your recording/viewing intentions. Which OS are you using? What video sources are you recording? You realize that the ATSC feature is for a direct U.S. coax cable (i.e. you can't view HD channels in high def via a connection to from set top cable...

****UPDATE**** I used the HP Chat Support and here's a snippet of the CPU upgrade: Roy Huang: Which are the HP recommended proc. upgrades for the s3300t? I have a 2.2ghz E4500. What would be the fastest upgrade please? Tanton.Q: You can upgrade the Core 2 Duo E8xxx (65W) which is the...

Thanks comp.u.newb & omjeremy. omjeremy: I did see that motherboard specs but my s3300t is limited to 800mhz FSB. So, if I did get an E8xxx series CPU, then will it "adapt" to my slower FSB? Or, without any BIOS update available, do you think that my original HP bios v5.06 will work?

Hi. I'm new to the thread and could use some assistance. I puchased the highest end config s3300t CTO w/ the C2D 2.2ghz E4500, the AverMedia tuner, and 750gig HD. 1) CPU: Given that there hasn't been a BIOS update and the FSB is limited to 800mhz, what would be the fastest Core2Duo that could...
