Somebody here has to have cracked open one of these puppies.
Compaq SR5350F
HP shows two different MBs for it. How do I tell the difference? The margin of error is unknown as some parts may be different? I cruzed the HP website where I came up with some of the following, but I have no confidence that I am correct.
Is it possible to up grade the Intel Dual-Core processor E2160 to better?
- 1.8GHz, 800MHz, 1MB Level-2 cache, 65Watt
I'm not sure how much these things can handle.
Come to think of it, I thought this one had AMD inside. How to find out to be correct?
Is it possible to replace the existing CPU processor to something better? What range of possibilities?
What should I upgrade the CPU fan with that will still be relatively quiet?
======================
Memory:
1GB (1DIMM) memory module, PC2-5300, DDR2-667 SDRAM DIMM
How many slots does this MB have and what are it's upgrade limits?
Currently, this is Mom's baby with Vista Home Premium in it. I'd like to do upgrades that will not blow up the existing setup. I do NOT want to reinstall, etc.
Thanks in advance for all guidance.
==================================
Personally, I am capable of cracking the case and replacing the desired parts. I only want to do it once.
