Compaq Presario 5700N Mobo ID

Data1232 · Dec 29, 2002, 09:41 PM

I have a Presario 5700N Desktop from Compaq (before the merger). I was wondering if I could upgrade the processor, but i don't know what kind of mobo it has, and what it's ceiling is. Is there some kind of mobo ID tool that will tell me the fastest CPU i can put in there?

You can try out this software to find out more information about your motherboard.

There really isn't any software that will tell you what your limit is for CPU upgrades.

Ya, post what the CPUID program says about things - and if that doesn't work, post some pictures of the motherboard, including any identifying marks involving make/model of motherboard... with that information we can help you figure out what the CPU upgrade limit is... though it's going to be somewhat interesting because its a Compaq...

Motherboard Homeworld has a cool MOBO ID tool that will ID any mobo even older ones it uses " Part number" or "Bios ID string".
This is a place to check out.

For tuff cases they have the "Mobo Cop" this is a case file that they will open and find info for all most any motherboard made at any time.
On the Mobo Cop page look for Bios Wizard A great program to get your BIOS string ID number and discover some other interesting things about your BIOS.
