In your case, it may be an upgrade list on the compaq site, for the memory info. Let me know if it helps. Post any questions you have.. the folks here have been SO helpful to folks doing upgrades and builds. Awards

IMHO, I would buy ONLINE, it's cheaper...the brick and mortar stores are notorious for OVERPRICING the RAM!!!! http://www.crucial.com/store/drammemory.aspx for the videocard, I second WIZID on the HD5770 (runs pretty much like a GTX 260 core 216, but with lower power consumption, size AND has a HDMI port+ DX11 support)...I got one in my daughter's rig...she plays BC2, COD, and L4D2 on it no issues...nice little card really. You can also look for cheap GTX460s like the MSI Twin frozr II model at 129$ after mail-in rebate...at newegg.com the 460 is better than the HD5770... Awards
