Graphics

Graphics card – Only upgrade this if it will help speed things up. I have the graphics card that came with it, but it only has a DVI input, so I would have to use the DVI>VGA adapter in order to use the smaller monitor. Alternatively, I could get a DVI>HDMI adapter. That would allow me to plug it into the TV any time I need to log in or use the command line.

RAM

RAM – Will help speed up streaming, upload and download rates. Currently only running 4 GB of RAM. How much would 8 GB of RAM help speeds? Once we finish Moving To Boston, I might check out Micro Center to see if they have decent cheap RAM. Or maybe lightly used RAM.
