   Yes, 8GB would make a big improvement for the [4] pc. Ram typically reaches   
   near the current 4GB limit during the day when using my required programs at   
   the same time.   
      
   The [4] pc is quiet, and small.  I should be able to even replace the current   
   HDD with a larger SDD drive. But downtime is a rare commodity at the end of   
   the business day which is typically 10+ hours.   
      
   The [4] pc is parked in a little nook that is currently blocked by "few   
   things".   No spare time to move those "few things", clean up the dust, and   
   put everything back - fast.

   I had quite the educational experience exploring linux distros for a friend.    
   I liked Xubuntu as well.  The trick was to find the right distro to match the   
   specs of the pc.  Not every distro played well with NVIDIA video in the   
   aforementioned [5] Dell pc for example.   
      
   BTW, although the [5] Dell pc supported 64-bit instructions, I settled with   
   Win7/32.
