From the Compaq FAQ:
Q) Can I put a different motherboard in my Presario? A) Yes, but not really. The problems would be many, including: 1. Physical layout. Finding one with the same Input/output connector layout at the back would be very difficult. 2. Onboard connectors. The front panel wires for the onn/off switch and hard disk/power LEDs go to a single connector designed to fit the pins on the current board. So, unless you feel comfortable cracking connectors or re-splicing wires, don't try it. 3. Power Supply connectors on earlier models may be proprietary. So, generally speaking for most users, the board is NOT easily upgradeable. In the 4700 Series the PS connectors ARE proprietary. I would not sink any money in a 7-year-old Pentium PC.
