It may be that RAM is "maxed" because it only has two slots & both are
occupied.
According to what I can find on HP's website for this model, it supports
up to 16GB of RAM. You'd have to remove the existing RAM to install an
upgrade.
I just talked to one of the tech support guys at my local Staples on the
telephone, and he couldn't figure out any more than I could. It might or
might not support more than the installed 4GB of RAM.
4GB might be enough for Ann's needs.

As Mr. Alling stated earlier, RAM is maxed and Windows 7 is going to
use most of that RAM. IIRC, it needs about 1.5GB to run. Since it's a
business configuration, the graphics memory will be an integrated chip
which will rely on system RAM, too. Another consideration is that not
all of that 4GB will be available in a 32-bit system.
Functional, but it could teach you to swear if you try to exceeds its limits.

"Ad to cart." I have several years experience with a1G hp that I
replaced with an 8G Dell from
Staples that I can hardly keep up with.
I only replaced the hp because I
got tired waiting for it and Staples
had a Promotion going on the Dell
with Windows 7.
My brother also tried Mac, but now has the same Dell as I.

BRuce,
tahnks for suggestion but...
No no and no - I loathe Macs, I've been using windows for over 20 years ..
Using my friends mac is agony. It is NOT simpler at all and physically
annoying . Not to mention I have stuff that wont run on a mac.
It isn't true, either, that macs are safe from viri these days and
the problems I'm having are nothing to do with a virus.
Now boys and girls,
I saw this offer from Staples on line
http://www.staples.com/HP-8000-Win-7-Pro-Refurbished-SFF-Desktop-PC-4GB-RAM-1/product_591658?externalize=certona
Comments?
I think the best thing for me to do is get a refurbed computer with Win 7 on
it... Use that for web, and keep my lovely old dell for working off line ,
rather than installing 7 on it. I did that before when
I upgraded, kept my old windows 98 bus that had things on it I didnt
want to lose and could only run on that...

Ann, not to be "that Mac bigot", but have you considered an
inexpensive Mac? Sounds like you can use your neighbors Mac with no
trouble. It might just be a more pleasant way for you to get back on
the air again. No more virus worries, simpler to work (in general).
If you bought a Mac Mini for $499 you can use your existing monitor
(through a cable adapter: Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter), keyboard
and mouse. I'd suggest a refurb Mac Mini but they don't have any right
now.
Just a wild thought.
