Compaq Presario 4640 processor upgrade? by Mike
My Compaq has a Pentium II 266mhz processor. It has been upgraded to 256mb of ram, new 80gb 7200rpm hd and Windows 2000. I know new computers are cheap now, but this machine still works great and I want to keep it. How fast of a processor will its old mother board handle ( even a 333 or 500 or...

Deskpro EP hard disk replacement by Pat
The hard disk on my DeskPro EP (300Mhz Celeron) died and I would like to replace it. I'll probably look for something off of eBay, but I'm not sure what to look for in terms of specs. The original drive was 4.3GB, although I wouldn't mind something larger. Would any 4.3 GB drive work? Could I...
