Most of the 'name' brand PCs use custom made "OEM" motherboards.

While the board may have been manufactured by a company that also sells motherboards under their own name, almost all of them do not offer support for OEM motherboards.
This is very often part of the contract with the PC manufacture. So, the motherboard mfg legally cannot offer support.

I would look up the specifications at www.hp.com
Follow the links for Compaq support.

If all you wish to do, is add memory, you can find out the style and memory limits at most of the memory manufactures web sites.

www.crucial.com
www.kingston.com
www.pny.com

Just enter follow the links to look up your PC.

CAUTION: Many Compaqs require specific memory modules.
I recommend ordering direct from one of the memory manufactures, or working with a local PC dealer that would be willing to verify that the memory you buy from them works in your PC.

Socket 7 Deskpros CANNOT be upgraded beyond 48Mb. Neither can the presario Socket 7 machines.
