i would recommend upgrading the processor that seems kind of slow for today but that would be a little expensive.....other than that upgrade the ram and then get xp....what size HD do you have??

the compaq uses a p3 cpu which is a socket 370 board. the ram is probably sdram that has 2 notches in the bottom. new p4 & amd boards use ddr ram that has 1 notch in the bottom. socket 478 is a 2nd generation p4 board whereas a socket 775 is 3rd generation p4 board. each # refers to the # of pins on the cpu,ex. socket 370 has 370 pin, socket 478 has 478 pin & so on.
