I have 3 RAM Slots -- one is not being used -- have (2) 256 chips and a 128 chip just sitting on top of my desk -- looking very forlorn because Windows 98 won't recognize it. Could put Windows XP Home on this computer but personally I can't stand it. Have it on my Laptop. I don't like the fact it wants to tell me where to put stuff!! Also to answer other question -- I still have over 5 Gigs free of my 11 Gig hard drive. And if I use my Laptop as storage by cabling, I can free up even more so I know that isn't the problem for the hang and freezing on larger graphics. It has to be the processor not being able to handle what I want to do. Guess I will have to email HP and ask about the Mother Board to see if it can be updated.

When you ran Belarc, How many RAM slots did it report?
