What's your opinion? It's only $47 and change after rebate but if it's not going to make any difference I'll just keep my $47.00.

With 1gb of system ram already, I don't think a stick of 512 would make that much of a difference for gaming...the increased ram on the video card will be the noticeable difference for gaming.
I am concerned about the video card that you picked up...are you sure that computer has a pci-express slot? You may want to get the service tag number (should be on the back of the pc) and look up the specs on Dell's website just to make sure. You may need to take the card back and get one for an AGP slot.
