Hi, Is there some clue to be had for
the equivalent Euro or US PB system for
this model sold in Australia?
Prime information is the motherboard
used, as drivers are needed and there is
no "recovery CD" with the system.
More information than the generic
"User Guide" provide on PB website
would also be a help Download
of a manual perhaps?

Name: Ixtreme E302.

AMD Athlon 64 3400+
1GB DDR Memory

Hi.
I imagine you wrote something, but the format was so
terribble many of us won't even read it.
This is your chance to elaborate more with detais, and
format it in a way that is more legible.

Forum here, suggests a motherboard type for the computer. PB Eberly (GA-K8VM-P-NF)
It looks like a K8T800/823x board for Socket 754 with two RAM sockets. The PB
documentation can't seem to give a consistent value for "x".
El mío es un packard bell imedia 6340, athlon 64 3400+ con placa
gigabyte GA-K8VM-P-NF, una ati 9550
Using Imedia 6340 takes me here. You'll have to decide whether
this is even close. I'm sure even Packard Bell doesn't know what
models it shipped and where.

Yes I did, poor typing skills (too fast) along with a
wireless keyboard at a distance. Regardless, your post is
the one which needed to be legible, because it is the one
which everyone needs to read and understand to help _you_.
I had found some of those Spanish references
and wondered if Australia was also used as a
dumping ground for the PB product. I don't do
Spanish well at all.
My question now, more of a request really, is
what string was used for the Google search?
Using the string quoted I return only links to
RAM sales sites (looped).
Could the actual string be posted?
I should learn something.
Again, thanks for the effort in making the forum

Your answer took multiple kicks at the can. And a
lot of luck. It wasn't a single search.
I'll let you in on a little trick. With this search,
you can specify a domain, like "packardbell.com" for
example. Not that it helps with PB at all, because
they have all sorts of web sites, so focusing on
just one of them is a waste of time. This is even
useful on some web forums, and can be more effective
than the search engine on the forum itself.
To get rid of the memory sales, you can add "-memory"
to the search. Or if a domain happens to have a forum,
and lots of irrelevant forum stuff comes up, you
can enter "-forum" to get rid of that.
But some days, the irrelevant stuff is never ending.
Some people make it their full time work, to flood
search engines with crap, so don't be surprised if
your best efforts result in nothing but noise.
If you want a site that consults more than one search
engine, you can try www.copernic.com . But I've noticed
lately, that the quality of their returned result is
now pretty poor. Looks like they're trying to make an
extra dime here and there, by adding in advertising
links.

"iXtreme E302" was the string, scrolling past the memory ads
got me to:
which had the info I posted. Knowing that a "Via chipset"
means going to Viaarena.com is from past experiance using
motherboards with Via chipsets on them < like the min-ITX
EPIA M board sitting next to me getting OpenSuse Linux 11.0
loaded on it at the moment >.
Sometimes you have to scroll through several pages of Google spew
to find stuff The hit is on the 3rd page in.

I've used Dogpile.com in a similar manner. It leads me to a page:
A memory seller in the Netherlands, but at least they list the
chipset for the motherboard, and knowing the chipset is half the
battle when it comes to drivers,no?
