I have an HP 8655c computer. 600/133 socket 370, 192 Meg RAM, built in graphics(sucks), pci voodoo 3 2000. The mother board has built in graphics thing, and the motherboard has no AGP slot.
Is it possible to take this motherboard out and get a new motherboard with AGP without changing the CPU and RAM?
If yes, can you give me any suggestions for a motherboard for this computer?
 
Yes you can. But, make sure you have an ATX case. If not, you can either (1) get a new ATX case or (2) get a motherboard that is of the same form factor as the one in your computer right now. The better motherboards available right now are ATX based.
 
Yes, in fact most Hewlet Packard's use micro ATX motherboards and use a standard ATX case (the shorter board inside simply does not fill the case). If you have an ATX style case with 7 expansion slots it is standard ATX, if it has only four it is a Micro ATX case. The Asus CUSL2-C is a good choice (CUSL2-M if the case is Micro ATX).
