Re: comp upgrade advice

This topic may be useful to you HERE

I think you can upgrade the RAM up to about 512mb if you havent done so already.
Thats all I could find.
Often HP boards are locked so you cant change the CPU FSB or get at the additional parameters. It all depends on your make and if may be there is a more upto date Bios you could download that may support another CPU. But its not guarenteed.
