Compaq Deskpro EN Developer HP/Compaq CPU Intel Pentium III 300 MHz - 500 MHz Memory 128 MB The Compaq Deskpro was a line of business-oriented personal computers manufactured by Compaq, discontinued after the merger with Hewlett-Packard. Models were produced containing microprocessors from the 8086 up to the Intel Pentium 4[1].
The original Compaq Deskpro, available in several disk configurations, was equipped with an 8 MHz 8086 CPU and Compaq's unique display hardware that combined Color Graphics Adapter graphics with high resolution Monochrome Display Adapter text. As a result, it was both considerably faster than the IBM PC and had a much better quality text display compared to an IBM PC equipped with graphics.[citation needed] It was first released in 1984.
The formfactor for the Compaq Deskpro is mostly the desktop model which lays down upon a desk, with a monitor placed on top of it. Compaq has produced many tower upright models that have been highly successful in sales, and are usually convertible to a desktop form factor. An SFF (small form factor) desktop version was also produced during the Deskpro's lifetime.
The many different models include the 2000, 4000, 6000, EX, DX, EXD, EN, SB, ENL, ES and XE series.
