On Dell's newer lines of desktops, PCI-Express uses 500 megabytes (MB) in the map; integrated video takes 256 MB right below PCI-Express, leaving 3.25 GB of memory available to the operating system via RAM. In some cases, less RAM is available depending on what other add-in cards are installed.

thefatmould: ok might keep integrated audio and upgrade hard drive. also my friend says that vista and windows 7 32 bit won't be able to utilise the extra gig of ram so is it worth paying the extra 140 for the extra gig and upgrade the video card.
EDIT:Ok the specs now are:
- Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo Processor E7400 (2.80GHz, 1066FSB, 3MB)

- 16X DVD + /-RW with Dual Layer Write Capabilities
