This computer is really old. Windows 7 hp pavilion slimlime, GeForce 6150SE Nforce 430, AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 240 Processor, 3Gb of ram. System model is s57132.
I am kind of new when it comes to messing around with computer hardware. Was mostly curious if it's possible to add ram sticks from another broken computer to this one, switching out the 3gb ram for 6gb ram total. Will this computer have a good enough power supply? I have no idea is this is compatible at all. I also do not know the brand of ram I would be switching over, or if that even matters.
I am just trying to find ways to make this garbage computer worth more than it's current state. Yes it's old, and this little "upgrade" would be very temporary. For at least 2 months until I can afford a new rig.

Btw, upgrading the RAM doesn't affect the load on the power supply by any noticeable degree, so that's not something you really need to worry about. I'm going to make an assumption and say that your current system has 2+1GB, and the broken one has 4+2GB. You should be able to take the 2GB stick from the broken one and replace the 1GB stick in the HP. I wouldn't bother replacing anything else, honestly.
