yes I would add another stick of memory, and it is easy to
install, ground your self first, and it pushes into slots,
with locking tabs on each end. The windows update 811493
is known to cause slow down problems, so remove it using
the add/remove programs if installed in your PC. Run the
maintenance tools too, disk cleanup and defragmenter about
every 2 weeks.
