ERforComputers, Welcome to the forum. There's a lot of information in this thread already, but the short story is as follows: You need to look at the model of motherboard your C500 is equipped with. The label with the number is...

QHN, Unfortunately, that won't be a help at this point. The board that DID recognize 3 GB (441696-001) is no longer in use, as it does not support Core 2 Duo CPU's. The board CURRENTLY in the system (445605-001) will not post with ANY...

QHN, Thanks. And on board 441696-001, the BIOS recognized 3 GB of RAM but Windows 7 claimed only 2 GB of it was usable. That tracks with information that the i940GML had a max of only 2 GB of RAM. It seems strange that it would POST and...

Good evening everyone, So it's been several months. I debated even posting this once I did it because the activity seemed to have died off. However, since there's some life still I thought I'd go ahead and post it now. I also have some...

Steve, We have the same board you and I, so that much tracks. I am sad to say that at the moment it seems that you are limited to a Core Solo T1350 as the best upgrade you could do for a processor. Of course, I freely invite anyone...

That is interesting, and I can only say I can't wait to see if you can tell us what board number you have. If it's 445605-001, I might just rethink buying one. That plus a dual-core chip would make the machine ALMOST the equal of my...

Jeepsteve92xj, There is a notable difference between the Core Solo T1350 and the Celeron M 430. It's not a quantum leap, but it was worth the $30 I paid for the CPU in my opinion. The Windows Experience Index rating jumped several...

And one more time, Upon further digging through HP's parts listing, and one of the online shops I go to now and then, there's a third board out there. 441695-001. HP's site lists this board in use in machines using anything from...

Alphaprime, The 945GML listed by some IS listed on HP/Compaq's website and many vendors who sell board 441696-001. Unfortunately, this is not accurate. The physical chip on the board is i940GML. As I said I visually inspected it. As...

Made an account just to post what I have found since it doesn't SEEM to have been specifically said. Basically, there are two boards available for the C500 series. 441696-001 and 445605-001. As you might guess, the higher numbered...
