Ok, so, your problem is your RAM. You have a good RAM on your GPU.

What mobo do you have?, my advice is increase the RAM of your PC from 1GB to 4GB(you only will use 3.5GB, because XP can't see more.) You need check the specifications of your mobo yo know what is the max amount of RAM that support and the specifications of this.
