Any ideas on what you would do with it?? If it would be cheap to upgrade and make it a gaming system, I am all for it. But I need the tech department of GC to help me out! Ideas? I forgot to mention that this is a HP M8330F Pavilion. You can search amazon.com and ebay. Amazon had them for a descent price new. Amazons link to this system!
Thanks!
