Compaq Armada 7770DMT Laptop

Here is nearly thirty minutes of laptop filled goodness!

My dad picked this relatively well-kept Compaq Armada 7770DMT laptop and a much less common docking station up from the “free” pile at a garage sale. (Compaq actually calls the docking unit an “ArmadaStation”.) It is fully functional, although it could stand a good cleaning and reloading of the operating system. Windows 98SE is probably the “best” operating system for this machine due to its RAM limitations. (Windows NT Workstation 4.0 would run, and is supposedly supported on this machine, but it is not well-suited to laptops.) Everything works, right down to the battery. This was from Compaq’s business grade laptop line. The Armada name was used by Hewlett-Packard after their purchase of Compaq Computer Corporation.

Does anyone have any information on the Compaq NorthStar chipset…technical reference, datasheet, whitepaper, anything?

This machine has a few unique features. In particular, it has a built in power supply, so there is no power brick to lose or break. I well remember when this was new, and the advertisements that Compaq ran in computer magazines of the time. They did not stick with the built in power supply design for long. Toshiba’s use of built-in power supplies on their laptops was longer lived, although they eventually abandoned the design as well.

This computer was new in late 1997 and I found one review of it still online today from PC Pro magazine:

http://www.pcpro.co.uk/reviews/laptops/1110/compaq-armada-7770dmt

The computer was priced at £4,229 including VAT, which would be US $6,886.74 (using conversion data as of 8/2/2011). Sales tax is not referred to as a “value added tax” here, yet it would still be charged.

The ArmadaStation was priced at £699 (excluding VAT) or US $1,138.29. The prices mentioned are the only ones I have found and probably would have been lower than the converted figures. They were the only prices I could find, so they will have to do.

As I only have one of these, it’s more of a flotilla than an armada. :-)

Lesson 04 – Install a RAM memory upgrade into any desktop or laptop computer – AWEsoME ! ! !

Website – http://snipr.com/memorycenter – for MORE ! !
In this lesson we are going to show you how to add memory to another desktop computer and a laptop computer. Upgrading a Desktop Computer’s Memory For the desktop computer I’ll begin by going to Crucial.com and running the System Scanner. The type of memory in this computer is DDR2. The computer can except PC2-5300, 6400 or 8500 memory and is capable of running in Dual Channel mode. The system has 4 memory slots, 2 are occupied by 512MB stick of memory for a total of 1GB. The maximum memory capacity per slot is 2GB and the maximum capacity overall is 8GB. To get more specifics about the memory in the computer I’ll install and run CPU-Z and go to the Memory tab. The type is DDR2, the size is 1GB and the memory is in Dual Channel mode which matches what the System Scanner showed us. The speed is 400MHz which again is doubled do the Double Data Rate of the RAM to DDR-800MHz also known as PC2-6400 and the CAS Latency is 5. I’ll go to the SPD tab to get the voltage of the RAM which is 1.8V. If I get another 2 sticks of memory, 512MB in capacity each, with the same specifications, I can double my system’s memory capacity to 2GB. I could instead add 2, 1GB sticks of RAM that would triple it to 3GB, or I can max out the remaining two memory slots with 2, 2GB sticks of memory which will bring the system up to 5GB of memory. I decided to add 2, 1GB sticks of memory to the system. I took the specs I got from Crucial.com’s System Scanner and the CPU-z and went to a local computer
