[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 2713017, member: 29706"] The most useful information: Two sticks of ram that are unequal sizes is not good as it should be running in dual channel mode from what I know. So at the very least I would pick up a 4Gb stick of ram and toss the 2GB. Have to troll around and see what other info I find. Edit: Found this [url]http://flash.newegg.com/Product/N82E16883266533?icid=WP_11_01292015[/url] Looks like two memory slots so may not even be dual channel supported. Video is built in to the cpu and is a Intel HD4400@350Mhz. It's a dual core with hyperthreading. Looks like they also shipped with a [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117302"]Intel Core i5-4460 3.2Ghz[/URL] so if you are going you upgrade that cpu should be supported and would be a decent step up.
