Scan your system, and it'll tell you what sort of RAM etc. to buy. Their RAM is good, but you could probably find cheaper elsewhere.

Dell are not usually keen to have people upgrade their PCs so if your PC has "on board" graphics it may not have a slot for a graphics card.

Dell often get special motherboards made without slots for graphics cards so check if yours has one before going out and buying a card.

In fact this review here seems to confirm it has no slot for a graphics card

The same review also indicates it only has 2 slots for the RAM memeory, and both are filled (with 2 x 256Mb).

Before you start upgrading this PC it may be better to start again with a new one, but do NOT get it from Dell but get it from a local compnay who can build it to order for you.
