looking to do a full upgrade on this system. currently has a NVIDIA GeForce 256 (32 MB) agp supports 1x 2x. looking for 128 to 256 graphic card. Also maybe looking into upgrading the processor. I can't seem to find any documentation on the mobo. I believe it is a propiortary compaq mobo. I want to know what is the highest processor I can get fsb is 200.

Search and download Aida32. It will tell you what mainboard you have etc.
Then you will have to go to Compaq to search the mainboard specifications to see what it will support.
General consensus is that you will need to replace the mainboard to upgrade most features depending on what that current board will support.

yes i have aida32. I ran the report but it says mainboard compaq. The information on the mainboard is vague. What about the graphic card. What do you recommend. I know it supports agp 1x 2x.
