HP - Refurbished Compaq Desktop - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 1TB Hard Drive
- Key Specs
- Processor Model: Intel 3rd Generation Core i5 (Your computer's processor is like its brain. Working in combination with system memory, the power of the processor determines the complexity of software you can run, how many programs you can have open at the same time, and how fast those programs will run. Most computers feature an AMD, Intel or Snapdragon processor.)
- Storage Type: HDD
- Total Storage Capacity: 1000 gigabytes
- System Memory (RAM): 8 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)

- Processor Model Number: i5-3470
- Storage
- Storage Type: HDD
- Total Storage Capacity: 1000 gigabytes
- Hard Drive Capacity: 1000 gigabytes (The amount of data that can be stored on the device's mechanical hard drive. Hard disk drives (HDDs) typically have larger capacities than solid state drives (SSDs) but may have slower speeds.)
- Memory
- System Memory (RAM): 8 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)
- Type of Memory (RAM): Not provided (Each type of RAM delivers a different level of speed, bandwidth, energy efficiency and performance.)
- System Memory RAM Expandable To: 16 gigabytes (Adding more random-access memory (RAM) to a computer speeds up performance and improves efficiency. Upgrades to memory are limited by the number of expansion slots for additional RAM and existing RAM installed on the device.)
- Compatibility
- Operating System: Windows 10 Home (The operating system manages all software and hardware, including files, memory and connected devices. Most importantly, it lets you interact with your device and your programs in a visual way; otherwise, you'd be typing computer code to get anything done.)
- Connectivity
- Number of VGA Ports: 1 (VGA (Video Graphics Adapter or Video Graphics Array) is a display standard that transmits via analog signals. This type of interface is typically used to connect a computer to a display device such as a monitor, projector, or TV.)
- Ethernet Card: 10/100/1000 (Also known as an Ethernet adapter, this card plugs into a computer's motherboard and enables it to access an Ethernet network. Ethernet data transmission speeds are measured in Mbps (megabits per second) and Gbps (gigabits per second). For example, a 10/100 Ethernet port transmits 10 and 100 Mbps, while a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port transmits 10 and 100 Mbps and has a maximum speed of 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).)

A: The answer to your question is NO, it does not come with a cd/cdr/drv player, but it does have room to add one if you wish.
Q: Does this PC have a DVD rewriteable drive?
A: In the question above, it says it does not have a dvdr in it. Which is correct???
A: it actually does have an HDMI port but you need to buy a different cable called Display Port to HDM which it cost about $40
Q: How can WIFI be added to this computer?
A: plug in a usb wifi adapter available for less than $20
Q: Will it run Corel programs?
A: It depends on the particular Corel program title and version. Like other Windows computers, this one will run Corel programs for Windows but not Corel programs for Mac. Most of the Corel 2020 programs currently available will run fine on this computer and on Windows versions as old as version 7. Most ancient Corel programs for Windows will still work under Windows 10, but some may require configuration to Windows 7 compatibility mode. 32-bit Windows platforms include a 16-bit subsystem, so old Windows 3 and MS-DOS programs can usually be configured to work on 32-bit version of Windows 10 (with printing being a challenge); but this HP computer is 64-bit, so old 16-bit DOS and Windows software mostly won't work except in a virtual machine (software not included). Some virtual machine software requires Hyper-V enabled in BIOS. Some owners of the HP8300 have been unable to get Hyper-V to work even with the latest BIOS upgrade, so I wouldn't recommend this computer for use as a VMWare host running 16-bit software like Word Perfect for DOS or Corel Ventura 4.2 on a 32-bit virtual machine.
A: Yes, I have been running windows 10 on it for the last 2 months with no issues. Like any Windows 10 PC it would be a little faster for some applications if it had 16 gig of memory.
Q: Can I hook up dual monitors to this computer?
A: You should be able to run one monitor from the VGA connector and a second monitor using the DisplayPort and an appropriate adapter cable.
Q: would I have problems if I ran a 8GB RAM game in it?, if so, can I add another 8GB of RAM?
A: The Maximum Memory is 32GB RAM. As it is, you can play any game that says it needs a minimum i5 and 8GB RAM, or any game with lesser requirements.
