Upgrade Max Data PC

[Memfis]

Hi Guys.

My desktop PC has been ill for a very long time now so I'm going to have to transfer to a spare seriously underpowered pc.

Manufacturer : Max Data
Model : Favorit
Type : PCMD/64015
MSID : XPBS19IC00
Serial : 30404370053

Contains An Asus Motherboard.
White sticker : P5VDC-TVM/S
Number under the ASUS logo : N13219

Current Ram :
512 - 533 - LF - TRS
DDR2 SDRAM unb. PC2-4200CL4

There is no AGP slot.
afaik they are standard pci slots not pcie.



Basically I need to add a pci graphics card to drive my second monitor & add more RAM.

There's no point going for expensive good quality stuff as it will probably end up costing more than the PC did (which wasn't much ).

Do I pop in another 512Mb Ram?
Or Replace with a 1G stick?
Or Buy 1G & have both in (1.5G)

What graphics card do I get?

Can I get this stuff at PC world? - I don't like shopping there, but they are convenient on a Saturday afternoon.

Thanks

Seams PC World don't sell PCI graphics cards, only pcie.
There's a maplins next door, I'm going to have a peak on their site.

@MEMFIS
Perhaps a little late but if you need a normal PCI graphics then drop me a line. I have a few in the junk pile ( working ).
