My mother has a Presario C303NR and I just did a re-install of windows because of how horribly slow it is running. As soon as she bought it we put 2 Gigs of memory to help out the Vista that came installed and to help out the crappy celeron in it. Well its just not keeping up any more and Ive been looking all of the web to try to find the socket type for a proc upgrade. Does anyone have any info that could help me. Of coarse compaqs(HP) site got me no where. I just need to figure out what socket so I can get a new proc

yah i hate how hot those things get, thats half the reason i have them.

I had 3 toshiba satellites with them and the proc got so hot it messed up the Power connection where the board meets the plug. and after fixing it, then it breaking, and fixing it, then breakin I had enough.

We will have to see how it goes, Ill post results
