"HP support site, "good as it is?"

You found some site other than the one listed in my manual?

No information about potential for CPU upgrade.

Nothing about the memory except purchasing through their designated
vender at  eight times the cost I got two sticks of perfectly
good used RAM for. 256 Meg.

Warned at that site the HP would not accept other memory it 
seems to like the used unbuffered Micron DIMM's quite well :-)

The HP site I looked at for my Pavilion desktop was utterly useless
as is the rather large manual that dwarfs the highly useful 
manual that accompanied my old 486.

Still for what I paid for the HP found on doorstep disassembled 
( 0.00$'s) by a disgruntled owner who knew I was into computers... not
a bad deal.
