I was also thinking of upgrading my PC, I was thinking about getting ATI Radeon graphics and nVIDIA GEforce video cards.
Though my other video car and graphics card is intergrated and my dad wants to know if i should get a new motherboard.
Also,
Will my Processor run with 2gb RAM and new cards..... Will it make a difference to my gaming?

look on the front and get the name of your pc.

like a dem. 3000 or whatever

then google dem. 3000 mother board and see if you can find anything

No tools are needed to get inside the case, and you'll find easy access to everything once you've removed the side panel. An unfilled memory socket lets you shoehorn a full gigabyte of memory into the Dimension 2400, and with two of the three PCI slots available, you can at least make some card-based upgrades. The tragedy of this motherboard is that there's no AGP slot, which closes off the upgrade path for the woefully underpowered integrated Intel graphics subsystem.

So Zypher, Does that mean i will be able to get around 1gb of RAM and be able to get the ATI and nVIDIA stuff?

You have to use PCI video cards because i dont think you have PCI express.
