Improving a Certain Computer System

The system that needs to be improved is shown below.

Intel Pentium D 'Dual Core X2' CPU (5.3 Ghz)
VIA Chipset 1066 Mhz Motherboard - slots available: AGP8x (1), PCI (3), RAM (2); ports available: LAN (1), USB (6)
512 MB RAM
80 GB HDD (SATA300)
18X DVD+/-RW Dual Layer & Dual Format
onboard UniChrome PRO 3D Graphics with 64 MB shared memory
mouse and keyboard
15" flat screen
cheap inkjet printer

The RAM on this computer needs to be upgraded. It should be upgraded to 2gb or more. Having more RAM will allow the computer to run faster. Upgrading this would allow the digital graphics programs to run a lot faster.

Also upgrading the graphics card on this computer would make a massive difference to the performance of this machine. Having either one powerful card or 2 good graphics cards will improve the performances dramatically. A good graphics card to have would be an nVidia 8800 card. Alternatively you can have 2 ATI x1950 cards. This would mean that there would be less stress on one card as it can be shared between the 2. Having this would allow the digital graphics programs to run and stay running smooth and steady.
