Upgrading Compaq Presario Desktop Motherboard

0

Hello!
I currently have this compaq presario desktop
but would like to upgrade the motherboard and
processor. Everything else will stay the same
so, i just need to find a motherboard that will fit
on the current case. I plan to spend under 200
for this upgrade.

I need some good recommendations for
motherboards and processors. Which one
should I buy?

Does your Compaq computer use proprietary plug-ins for the power supply, on/off switches, etc?. Most manufacturers have some proprietary plugs or connectors. Honestly, since you want to reuse the case, power supply and ram, I would not think that any upgrade using these items would give you any bang for your buck over your current P4 configuration..
