Applications
The Compaq 254552-002 is a direct replacement system board for Compaq Presario 5300 Series desktop computers. These late-1990s to early-2000s consumer desktop systems were based on the Intel 815E chipset and the Socket 370 platform, which was Intel's mainstream CPU socket for Celeron and Pentium III processors during that era. The 815E chipset integrated graphics, audio, and memory controller functions, making it a common choice for integrated OEM desktop builds of the period. This board is suited for technicians repairing or restoring Presario 5300 series units, or for hobbyists maintaining late-Socket-370 hardware. The Socket 370 platform has been superseded by modern architectures, but replacement boards remain in demand for legacy system upkeep and vintage computing projects.
This Compaq 254552-002 Socket PGA370 motherboard has been tested at our facility and is in good working condition. The board is clean overall with light dust and minor cosmetic wear consistent with previous use. The Socket 370 CPU socket, DIMM slots, and expansion slots all appear undamaged.
