6GB RAM, only says I can use 3.50GB of it tho.
AMD Phenom(tm) 8650 Triple-Core Processor 2.3 GHz, I can probably overclock it a little.
32 BIT Windows 7, idk if I can, but I can probably upgrade it to 64bit version.
Soon the graphics card will be GTX 650, but current graphics card is Geforce GT 120.


I'll find out of the names of the programs soon.

32 bit windows 7 only use up to around 3.5 GB, there isn't a upgrade path from 32 bit to 64 bit, it would be a reinstall, so you would backup all personal data and reinstall windows then all the apps.

The upgrade is nice.

Yus, I know. I do have windows 7 64 bit CD's. But how do I make the language english? My old CD didn't work, so I had to download a windows and burn it to a CD and install it, but it's only in english, and my grandpa is from Poland, so I guess he would be glad if it was in polish, lel.
