Well i would love to upgrade my desktop. But HP makes a lot of stuff integrated like the video card and whatnot. But I was reading that i could upgrade my processor and add a total of 4GB or Ram.

What do you guys think?
Here are my PC Stats.

I'm sure you mean 4GB of ram. Do it! The ram will make the most difference. You can also buy another video card. When you insert another video card most motherboards will disable their built-in. If not, you can disable it in the bios.

Yes it seems a good thing! if you mean 4Gb and not 4Mb!! coz for 4MB it would be useless! and yeah with 4Gb RAM you will see a difference, because my Pc was 3.01Gz with 512Mb RAM only and it was....well good and now I upgraded the RAM to 1Gb and I see alot of difference so well imagine with 4Gb RAM!!

Don't know much about ram so I can't tell you. What type does your motherboard support? What speed?
