Which RAM to get?
I want to do my dad a favor and buy RAM for this computer before I break it. However, I don't know what RAM to get. My computer uses PC3400(?, maybe 3200) but I don't know what this HP Pavilion takes. Does it matter?

Yes it does matter. Some older computers cannot use PC3400. I would be your dad's computer uses 2700.
