120 GB Hard Drive
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900

Would it be worthwhile to get the 2GB RAM? Also, would it be helpful to get a graphics card - and any advice on what one would be ideal?

Thanks for any help...

Upgrading to 512M or 1GB of RAM should solve most of your porblems, though you will need to install a half decent Nvidia or ATI graphics card, as at present you're using the onboard graphics. Defrag your HDD and check on the net for a services guide also to see if all the services running on your OS need to be. This can be a cause of some major sluggishness.
