32-bit Operating System

These are the performance things scores.

Processor- 4.9
Memory(RAM)- 4.5

========================================
With that in mind, do I need more RAM or a better graphics card? I can get 2 more GB of ram for it. Is this a good idea? Like I said, I don't know if my graphics card is good or not. Also tell me if I need more of something to make it run faster. Tell me if I don't have enough of something or if I lack it. Thanks!
 
it won't make a big difference to get 2 more gigs of ram because 32-bit OS
will only detect a max of 3.
I would suggest getting a new graphics card.
