OpenBSD on HP Stream 14 cb112wm
I have a refurbished HP Stream 14 cb112wm en-route that I intend to upgrade the ram memory to 8GB and install OpenBSD.
An observation, the HP Stream 14 an0xx and cbxxxwm spec pages say the ram is 4GB period. I did find youtube videos that show these models to have a single, replaceable slot (DDR3L1600/DDR42400) and a Tomshardware post that the an0xx series will recognize 8GB. I'm gambling that the cbxxxwm will too. Opening these up entails prying the plastic housing and, if necessary, I would like to replace the wifi at the same sitting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BlwLUYg3Tg The manual indicates that it comes with 2 possibilities for wireless: Quote:
I do not have a problem running Current. With that background: 1) Does HP tend to put hardware restrictions in the BIOS? If so do I need to purchase an HP Intel card or will any Intel 7265 card work? 2) I don't care about Bluetooth and would not have an issue buying an Atheros or other non-bluetooth chip. Reports of positive or negative experiences appreciated. I will report the results in the forum OpenBSD laptop hardware section and nycbug dmesg. Last edited by shep; 24th November 2018 at 08:58 PM. Reason: Added the goal to minimize prying apart the housing. |
