Will I see much of an increase?

    I'm upgrading a ****** Dimension E310 into a mildly good entertainment center, but the mobo doesn't even support PCI-Express, so It's going to be a little hard. It's going from 256 MB of RAM and an integrated card to 768 MB of RAM and, I guess (Sine I think it's the best available to me), a Radeon X1300. How much of an increase should I expect? I have a really nice monitor (32" HDTV), and I wanted a rig that would play emus, play and record videos, and play games within the range of WoW (Nothing like Oblivion or FEAR >_>;)

    With a 32" LCD, you would want to play games at high resolution, but with that card, you'll probably be stuck at 1024x768 or lower. The X1300 is really a budget card. The emulators will be no problem though, assuming you mean fairly old ones like NES, SNES, Genesis, etc.
