A: More system RAM never hurts. I'd run it up to 4 GB there and get an honest to goodness video card. You don't state if you're running XP or Vista. If you're running Vista, more ram is even more necessary! Vista is a RAM hog! The 2 GB you have will keep Vista reasonably happy so you need more for your applications and games. Watch the sales, RAM has been on sale recently so you could save some serious bucks there. I just bought another GB for my older machine and saved a good $50 over regular prices. Your computer has integrated video, meaning it's on the motherboard. And it's only 128MB which is really light, especially for gaming. I'd go for a 512 MB card. Video cards have come down in price quite a bit so you should be able to find something pretty good for a decent price. I think you should be quite happy with the performance aafter you make those couple of improvements.
