Can COMPAQ 900z be Modified???

Good Day,

Just got given a COMPAQ 900z as a gift... it's a little slow for my tastes. It has an AMD 1800 and shared (up to 64mb) ATI 320M graphics card.

Anyway, can I swap the 320M graphics card out, and can I swap out the cpu, Athlon 1800, which is soldered to the board in order to improve performance???

Respectfully,

Jazz

actually you may want to consider upgrading the RAM(which is often possible) it is pretty easy and it'll do wonders for your performance really.

an AMD 1800+ is nothing to scoff at either.
