I tested the 290 and natively it works, then I had a 450 and it works in vesa then I didn't have any others

Is there a compatible laptop also is the acer 5630 only the ethernet port does not have the driver

Ok, thanks for clarification

al best and thank you

Deadwood, the Nvidia card I tried, the one from the Cuda family is the NVS 295

I have a general question: what sites should I be checking for availability of second-hard hardware? Ebay? Amazon? Anything else in Europe or North America that makes sense to check?

better ebay you save a lot I bought in the European area

@Amiwell79

You mentioned ACER 5630 and said that ethernet network does not work? Do you have this laptop? I ask because Neil created a driver for broadcom 4400 network chipset and this seems to be what this laptop has.

I had neil's driver not working

Do you still have this laptop? Is so can you provide output of PCI Tool, "save devices to RAM"?

I don't have it anymore

i will buy one because i need it and i will let you know more, anyway it mounts a nvidia 7300 GO with 128 Mb compatible, wifi athereos, hd 120 Gb, the price is very affordable around 50 euro shipped

Hi All,

Thanks to your feedback and great HCL list maintained by @Jeff1138, I compiled a first, broader list of candicates. The main criteria for that list was acceptable driver support AND availability for purchase second hand, with at least 5 listings on ebay. If you have a system that has good support but is not on the list, please suggest it. If you have questions about specific item, please also let me know.

From this list a sub selection will be made based on topics list degree of hardware support, age of hardware, usability (processing power, 32-bit vs 32/64bit, etc).

Hi,

Thanks, is the HP T630 a thin client? Not sure if anyone has tested so far, out of my price range at the moment?

Tested a T730 recently until bricking it easily trying to put in a nvs295 or nvs310 - grrr things they never tell you until too late

many thanks for all

I also had an hp z600 the compatibility is very good, you can install two separate CPUs otherwise it is identical to the hp z400

Based on HCL I was weighting in T730 vs T630. I looked to be as both have the same level of support, but T630 looks more available on ebay and cheaper ($50-100 range) so that's why I put it instead of T730. Would you suggest putting both as candidates?

what is the graphics card of the hp t630?

It's Radeon, so it would stay with VESA only. Again this is list of candidates, not yet the final, smaller list of recommended hardware.

is a good computer can be a candidate if you are not interested in GL applications
