Well if you're not changing your motherboard, there's no need to buy memory, as you already have the best you can get, unless you feel you don't have enough. The system performance is very poor as it is, so you'd probably do best out of a complete upgrade, but if you do still want RAM:

Well of course the crucial site said that, it's job is to sell you RAM :P
However, I would agree, 1GB or 2GB would be better than 512MB at least. Given the price, you may as well go with 2GB (note, remove the RAM you already have before putting the new stuff in)
I'm not sure what you mean about the hard drives. Can you explain a bit better?

Currently there is no CPU that can run pcsx2 at max. Your best bet is using a very high clocked CPU. Graphics requirements are lower. X1600XT would probably be enough.
Minimum specs (for reasonable game play) are as follows for pcsx2:
Dual Core 2.4GHz
1GB RAM (2GB will be better)
X1600XT
Emulators require more from the CPU than the graphics, so upgrading the CPU is the best way to improve frame rate on pcsx2. Any Multi-core CPU that can clock over 3GHz will run the emulator pretty smoothly. It will not max every game on the PS2, but good enough to get every compatible game playable.
The only issue is the X1600XT. It is a good Video Card for very light gaming, like older games and emulators. If you plan on playing newer PC games, go for the HD 4850. It was on sale last week for $125 with free shipping and that was without a rebate!!!

No, the graphics card is very weak. Prebuilt gaming PCs aren't cheap, the best I could suggest is a Dell XPS420.

It's now been discontinued in favour of the Studio desktop, which will still set you back very little shy of $1000 if you put a decent graphics card in it.

No, you just need a graphics card or adapter with either a VGA or DVI port, which 99% of them do anyway.
