It's probably not the RAM that's causing choppy behaviour with your PC... it might well be the fact that you're using Internet Explorer (6?), or OS problems. A 1Ghz Processor, and 512Mb of RAM should be more than enough... I mean, I've got Youtube videos running fine on an IBM X20, with a 600Mhz Pentium 3, and only 192Meg's of RAM. First thing you might want to try, is reinstalling Windows. Cleaning out a few years of Windows Rot will usually make a PC feel pretty snappy again.
If you're looking for a computer though, try this . It'll probably be a bit cheaper in the US, since about a fifth of that price there includes VAT, Irish prices are always on the high side anyway..... and it'll do just about anything you'd want it to.
In general, if you want to be playing games, yiou're looking for something with some form of discreet graphics... a seperate Graphics card rather than an integrated one. Most modern PC's these days come with an ethernet port anyway, so you don't have to worry about that.
