    Can't really find much details about the specs of it but as far as i can tell it has 1GB RAM. I'm assuming it's DDR RAM judging by it's age (can't find much detail about it). Add 1GB more to make it 2GB http://www.ebuyer.com/product/65719

    Not the cheapest. That would be about 3-4 quid cheaper, but you want a decent brand. Crucial is one of the top brands.

    I would say that you could upgrade the RAM and graphics card at most.

    The RAM is plug in and go. Graphics card isn't. You'll need to uninstall all the drivers and software relating to the current graphics card first. Then turn the PC off, remove the old card, put the new one in, power up and install the new drivers.

    As for a compatible card... Ebuyer seem to have given up all hope on nVidia AGP cards. They have some ATI cards that seem decent value for money, especially the 1650. http://www.ebuyer.com/product/146430 and a more powerful card http://www.ebuyer.com/product/144317 . Or this nVidia one from a different website is decent value for money http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Compo...roductId=33057
