Compaq Prolinea 4/50

Are Compaq motherboards replaceable? They were giving old computers away at work. Can this be upgraded with new components? Is it a doorstop? I would like to be able to extend its life for a student.

Thanks.

Thank you. For another 50 pts, What about the BIOS? Y2K, you know. I haven't even tried to contact Compaq. I am doing just great with you, so far.

Thanks again.
