A:AnswerMost (maybe all) new computers can use an older Monitor if you have the drivers. I know that the monitor I was using with a 9 year old Dell computer worked fine when I plugged it into my new HP. You shouldn't have any problems.
A:AnswerNo. Not without an adapter/converter. But they aren't that expensive so it shouldn't be a big problem.
4gb is adequate for casual use but 8 is much better when you have more than one program open. Even if the other app(s) are minimized they are satill open and it will be a drain on the processor and RAM.
For the a/v I use Avast free as it seems to be a smaller drain on the system than some others.
A:Answer"Those temps are not typical, however it sounds like you have modified the components in the as the 260-A114 model should only have 4GB of RAM. I would recommend reaching out to HP support or the Best Buy Geek Squad for assistance with your temps."
I bought this PC from Best Buy. One would think that you all would be familiar with the specifications.
I have modified nothing. This PC is sold with with 4GB Ram. Per HP Specs: 16 GB is supported for 64bit PC's.
I am mostly concerned with this PC not having a case fan.
I took the panel off and am running a fan into the innards.
Now.
CPU= 117 degrees
MB = 78 degrees
Graphics = 119 degrees
Storage = 78 degrees each for 2.
You are right. I should have taken this question to HP Support.
thanx.
