    Upgrading Inspiron 530

    Hey, I have a Dell Inspiron 530 desktop, and I want to upgrade the Graphics Card and the Memory. I'm not looking for a specific price range, just wondering what will actually work in my computer. Here is a copy of my DxDiag log:

    I'm hoping to upgrade my graphics and memory to a point where I can run Runescape with 20-25+ FPS all the time. I'm currently getting about 10-15, so I'm guessing 4GB RAM and any graphics card that isn't onboard will get me there.

    If anyone has any recommendations, please let me know. Afaik, I have a 300W psu, so I don't think I can upgrade the GFX too much. Thanks guys!

    Yeah, I thought about that too. but the only thing is I don't wanna spend too much, I was just looking to do a quick GPU/RAM upgrade to hold me over til I can buy a nice custom gaming PC in about 6-8 months. Any gpu's you'd recommend? I can find ram easily as it's just checking what type it takes, but I'm not sure on which gpu would work in my computer.

    5670/6670 IMO don't require any PSU power(only draws from the mobos pci-e slot for power) and would play it fine.

    I wouldn't even drip cash upgrading that I'd save it to get a new rig faster
