I'm pretty sure know that the G210 is integrated, because I looked up my computers system information and when it lists the graphics card one of the columns says Adapter DAC Type: Integrated RAMDAC

So what would give my computer the biggest perfomance boost, new ram and a new graphics card or a new processor? I found out online that an integrated card is on the motherboard, and I also heard that running two graphics cards at once isnt always beneficial, so would I be able to disable the integrated card when I get a new one? I have an available PCI express slot, although what confuses me is the first slot is occupied, and for Data Bus Width it says 64 bits whereas for the other slot it saysData Bus Width:1x or x1 and I have no idea what it means by that. PS if theres no problem with the PCI slot if anyone could recommend some graphics cards for me that would be great. Here is by motherboard and processor info just incase:

Motherboard: Manufacturer: Gateway Model:WG43M North Bridge: Intel P45/P43 A3 South Bridge: Intel 82801JR(ICH10R Revision A3 CPU Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5200 @2.50GHz CPU Socket: Socket 775 LGA

I don't really know anything about the graphics card, on the box my computer came in it says Nvidia GeForce G210 512MB, although I'm pretty sure its not an integrated card, I looked it up online breifly before buying my computer and I never saw anything about it being an integrated card, it seems like a great card to me though, I know its not the best out there or anything but I have Crysis and it looks great, although I can only run it on medium (If I set Crysis to high theres a very slight bit yet significant enough to be annoying amount of lag, and on maximum theres about a 1 second delay on anything I do, although it looks so friggin good I wish my comp could handle it)

Dragon Age Origins will be out before long and I'm concerned about how well my computer will be able to run it. Here is what Origins wants:

Recommended System Requirements
OS: Windows XP SP3/Vista SP1
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (2.4 GHz)/AMD Phenom II X3 720 (2.8 GHz)
Memory: 2 GB
Hard Drive: 20 GB Free
Video Memory: 512 MB (nVidia GeForce 8800 GTS/ATI Radeon HD 3850)

And what my computer has:

OS: Windows Vista 64bit SP1 Processor: Intel E5200 2.5ghz Video Memory: Nvidia GeForce G210 512mb Memory: 4GB DDR3

So what I want to know is should I be able to run DA with max settingswith my computers current hardware, and if not what should I buy to improve my computer.

I'm thinking of upgrading because my pro console is older, so it makes loud noises, dosent have an hdmi port, etc but I have heard about numerous problems concerning transferring data from one harddrive to the other. So basically what I want to know is have these problems been cleared up? I'm aware I need to order a transfer kit, but once I transfer my arcade games and dlc, will they work properly if even if Ihave tore-download them and stay connected to xbox live. I was also wondering if it would be a better idea to just buy an arcade instead andslap my old harddrive on it, because what I'm really after is the hdmi port and better internal parts of the console, and according to ebgames current arcades have hdmi. I tried finding an answer online but I could only find old posts so any help would be appreciated.
