My grandmother uses her computer solely for the purpose of watching her shows online. Sadly, her computer is so outdated that they fail to remder her videos properly, resulting in stutters throughout the show. Whats the cheapest build I can make for her? Maximum budget is $200 after shipping and handling.

U important criteria here ought to be the ram. Having 2x4gb ram will smoothen things out with multitasking or even general alt tabbing.

I dunno if that refurb hp has a 2x4gb config, if not :
