Take a look here for your mobo specs. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?dlc=en&lc=en&product=1110863&lang=en&cc=us&docname=c00257657 Looks like any modern microATX board will work. The Asus K8S-MX will probably work as it has an AGP slot but is smaller than yours.

See if the motherboard has a sticker on it, with the HP/Compaq part number.

I have a compaq too which I immediately trashed. I threw away the case and got a 20 buck one from Compusa and then recently replaced the MB with a standard nforce3. I recall the K8s-la seemed to only be made for compaq I couldnt find it mentioned anywhere else. Asus has a variation on it they used to sell which seem slightly different. For all I know the model number alone made me the difference but it had a SIS chipset and built in graphics. For the same amount of money as an official replacement --- if it ends up costing $100+ you can actually buy almost part of a new system if you live in the US. Eg. Compusa --- Mambo Thermaltake blackcase which is a very nice snazzy case thats standard no guessing what will fit in the future if you have to swap parts out. Its $20 after rebate this week only. Frys often as 2800 semprons and 3100 semprons with a ECS nforce3 board for $79/89 combo. You get a new processor MB AND case for roughtly 100 or so. If you sell the processor on ebay etc you should get around half of that money back usually easily so you end up with new case and MB for 50-60 cost. Youll have the problem of reinstalling the OS though as philo says. I didnt use Compaqs reinstall disks. They have a partition with reinstall files in the partition. You can make reinstall disks from them according to posts Ive read. However you have to be able to read from the HDs to make these disks of course and Ive had tons of trouble recently when Ive swapped out MBs with even WIN XP. Even in safemode they seemed to not be able to bootup and many cant even get to the point of getting in safemode. |
