Wait, someone sold you a PC, two years ago, with 512MB DDR memory? How much did you pay? Sounds like you got scammed.

Ram does nothing for gaming unless your playing at insane resolutions. What resolution do you play at?

Not true at all.. Programs, your OS, games, anything that you run is stored in and ran from your RAM when you load the program. You may not notice as much using XP with an 8500gt, but games will run like garbage if you don't have enough RAM...

Res is mostly down to the GPU memory I am pretty sure. If you have low amounts of RAM you will likely run into a lot of stuttering with long load times in your games.

dang that pc is a low profile so thatll affect your upgradability im willing to bet the psu in that thing is a long and thin instead of cuboidal so pretty much nix that avenue. Id upgrade that ram to 4gigs now the graphics card is the next challenge it has to be low profile and i mean low AND meet the power reqs of 200 watts im not gonna bother with that part if some1 else wants to look for a 200 watt gfx card go ahead
.

honestly dude i say save your money come back here when you have 800-1k for a nice build

games that were made specifically for say the xbox 360 or ps3 and were converted to work on a computer operating systemtheyre inferior to a built from the ground up PC game because of the limitations of the console hardware and the User interfaces can be especially annoying (being designed for a controller)

umm not anything recent heres why .. your ram

your memory is dreadfully low barely able to run windows upgrade that first mmk.. like say idk 2gb ddr sounds good (its cheap & easy to do)

like literally adding mroe ram takes all the skills of a guy building a lego set or re-assembling a pen. you literally push down two tabs and pop the memory in..

2gb is a MUST in the modern world 3 or mroe is ideal this would help you greatly improve the list of games you can play

simply take out your old stuff and replace it with these..
