Specs say it has 4 gigs.
https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01777298
Supports up to 8 GB of system RAM PC2-6400, 800-MHz, DDR2
If RAM were free yeah absolutely but DDR2 is expensive. 8 gigs (2 x 4 gig modules) costs at least $120 for decent name brand memory and that is frankly too much to spend on this machine. If you actually have 3 gigs it would only cost a few bucks to upgrade to 4 gigs and that would actually be noticeable and worth it. I am assuming you really have Windows 7 64 bit installed.
2 gig module needed to replace the 1 gig module and go from 3 to 4 gigs:
8 gig kit:
Page 4-10 of Manual linked above shows "how to".
