You coud throw some money at what you have but considering the motherboard, you'd only be able to go so far with it. If you really want a decent gaming rig, you'd have to start from scratch. And if that's the case, you may as well leave that system as-is & either buy or build a whole new computer. That old one can be sold or kept as a backup.
If you want to get off as cheaply as possible, just add another 1GB stick of DDR2-667 & a low cost gaming card such as this Radeon HD 4670. You can do that for about $100:
if i were u i would upgrade my whole PC not to mention ur graphics are so weak u can upgrade ram and gfx card as jam suggested
gd luck
Ya new system.
If I upgrade ram and gfx as jam suggested will it be enough to run GTA IV with decent results?
