Yes. You'll need to transfer your data, and you can use your current monitor as a 2nd screen. This would be much faster, but it's much harder to use ... windows xp is what you use today, but this runs windows 8, which sucks. If you, or someone you know can install Windows 7, this would be great for you! If not, get a refurb running win 7

RAM can be upgraded in this PC. Check out nice video on HP.com for how to replace memory. It perfectly make sense to double your RAM if you need to keep multiple applications running.Though this PC is not designed for major upgrades, like one could do with elephant size desktops, you can make changes to certain parts such as RAM, hard drive, PCI-e cards, etc.

It depends on the RAM chipsets supported by your processor(core 2 duo/P4/i3/i5). Search about it online and i guess u will get better and faster (better frequency) options than this one. I had an old system so bought this as my only option.

If your compute is the same as mine (ie acer) then it should improve your speed quite significantly. My computers operating system flooded all of the current memory, so when I added more memory it made a significant difference. Again, if your computer is the same as mine, you should have an additional slot to add this memory - so you will only be getting an improvement.

Yes, your processor should be able to handle 2gb of RAM. You'll just need to remove your current stick and place this one inside the laptop.

It's possible...it might be a tight fit. My HP is pretty thick, but i'm not sure about yours.

The laptop has 2 ram slots, i just put in mine 2x4gb crucial memories and works like a charm, before i had only the 4 gb original hynix memory in it. Also you have 2 hdd drive bays which is a rare thing into a laptop especially at this price so you can easily put in a ssd drive to speed up the system. @Lemas I don't know what problems are you experiencing but I had 0 problems with it I used windows 8 and i just upgraded to 8.1 without any problems and i am using it for more than 6 months now and is my main work laptop so it runs almost 24h/day.@Rudy yeah having a big touch pad you can easily move the cursor around so i suggest you use a mouse and shutdown the touch using FN+F7 keys.

Good question. I've been having issues with my hard drive lately. It says my memory is too low and to add memory. I've purchased an iPad to replace this product. For what I spent on this ASUS, I am not happy that it only lasted just over 1 year before major problems. I would look at an HP. Good luck.

Not sure. I would contact HP support to make sure. The reason is, is because HP is very specific about its memory timing, size and slot availability. Although if you want to give it a shot and see if this RAM works, go for it, nothing like a little bit of experimentation :)

This is NOT a desktop system. As is the case with nearly all laptops (excluding custom built) the only interchangeable, and therefore upgradeable, components are the battery, hard drive, memory modules (RAM), and the DVD/CD drive. You may be able to overclock the processor for additional speed. I believe the graphics "card" is not a separate component but integral to the system board. The keyboard can normally be REPLACED with the same keyboard if the original becomes defective... same with the display screen, but will not provide added function. In case my info is invalid you should contact HP's tech support for confirmation.

Are you referring to the CPU by any chance? To be honest I'm not entirely sure. But I believe you could probably find another processor to replace the one that comes with it, since you can get access to most parts by taking the bottom off of the computer. But I just replaced the RAM to upgrade from 1 to 2 gb. I am by no means a computer expert, I just know my way around the internet. :)

I have an HP dx7500 Small Form Factor, according the specifications I've read; it could support up to 16G of RAM (It has 4 slots).I an looking for "4-GB DDR2 Synch DRAM PC2-6400 (800-MHz) Non-ECC " a good price

You would need to check the memory requirements for that HP. Can look on manufacture website. Make sure the memory is within specification. In this case, DDR2 and 533mhz

Yes this will work. It will be downgraded to the slowest memory you have in your machine. You will have to install the slower memory in the first slots and the faster memory in the next slots. Otherwise you will only see the first slot memory. Their memory is good as I have 12 gig in various machine's for over 2 years now and no trouble. I highly recommend them.

I would say yes, I have it in a desk top and I am very pleased with it. My start up time has been cut from minutes to within 30 seconds. I don't know what you have for internet speed, or how much ram you have, but you will see a big deference. My internet speed is 15mbps.download. I am running Windows 7 with 16 GB of ram and it works great..Good luck. I hope it works just as well for you...

Yes! According to HPs website your computer supports up to 4GB (2 x 2GB) of PC2-5300 / DDR2 (667-MHz) memory

Mine has 16GB. Once you receive it, go to www.crucial.com and download to check your RAM. It will tell you what you have now, and what it can be expanded to. Then, contact HP or Amazon to deal with it.
