Product: HP Compaq d530 SFF
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit)

So, i actually found a half gigabyte ram and put it in the computer: HP Compaq d530 SFF, i found it had 4GB RAM, Intel Pentium 4 2.60 GHz and i had some questions about this.

 

1. Is this computer for gaming?

 

2. Can i install in this 64-bit Windows 7?

Hi:

 

The HP d530 is a business desktop PC.

 

It is used for office applications such as running Microsoft Office and web surfing.

 

It is not used for playing video games, and it cannot run a 64 bit operating system.

 

None of the supported Pentium processors are 64 bit capable.

You're very welcome.

 

I used to have 4 d530 CMT's.  They were good machines back in the day.

 

Watch out for the power supply on the d530 SFF. 

 

Many of them had a tendency to actually explode into sparks and flames.
