With a single core CPU and only 1gb of ram, I don't think your GPU will be your bottleneck for a long, long time.
What games are you playing? It seems like you would be way better off upgrading your CPU/RAM/Mobo

Actually reading his specs, I believe he has 1.5GB of RAM. Under Windows XP, that's just enough to run games decently.
Under vista, you watch the slide show.

RAM is the least of his worries right now. That'll be the cheapest thing to upgrade.
