Pop in another 512MB DDR and a new graphics card and you're good to go for gaming.

Yeah is it custom build or a Acer, HP or something?
Add another 512mb of ram (DDR 400, check if it is compatible with your mobo) and a new graphics card.
I'd suggest about a 6600GT  . If you love ATI get something along the lines of an x800GT | |

NO, PCI-E is not the same as PCI. PCI is old and PCI-E is the latest slot.
If you do have a PCI-E slot then whats your budget? | |

Also in that upgrade you will need to check out what Power Supply if you got for a 6600GT AGP then you will need at least 350W on it | |
