is upgrading to 4 gig ram worth it?

Save your money and do the research with Compaq's recommended ram manufacturers and once you install this you'll understand there's nothing to fear about it. Just don't wear socks and shuffle across the shag carpet building up tons of static then grab the ram ! Always touch something metal and ground yourself before you reach into any computer ! It could be a wife's tail but still worth doing....cheers, good luck and stay in touch with this any any other projects or issues. Welcome to SF !
