You need DDR2 - but starting with 1.5GB of RAM will not see much improvement going to more - say 2GB or 2.5GB. If you only had 512 to start, you would see significant improvement.
A dedicated video card would help - this will help a lot after rebate - about $5 plus tax / shipping:
GeForce 9500GT 512MB DDR2 PCIe 2.0 x16 Graphics Card @ microcenter for $4.99 AR and Savings - Slickdeals.net (thous *should* work in your PC)
If I had an extra I'd give it to you but I don't have a spare PCI-e
