Paul is correct, it's a late XP era machine (the Quickspecs say "HP recommends Windows Vista Business" but the changelog goes back to 2005, with the system being retired on 13/8/07). I don't know if the '5' series machines were ever seen here - I would have been doing the dx6120 around the same time, so it's possibly not a model that was sold in this region. Looks like an AMD version of the 6120 though - workhorses, I would have replaced the last couple at one client around the time that XP was running out of extended support, although most clients had replaced them long before then.
Maxes out at 4GB, but it came from an era of 32 bit operating systems so it'll be fine. If you want Windows 7 on it, you'd need to find an unused retail packaged copy - there is no other currently available legal path other than open license. It's far older than anything I'd consider using though!
