Also, get your nerdlest friend. There are a lot of different ram types (ddr, and ddr2) and video card types (pci, agp 4x, agp 8x, pci express) and their slots look the same to an untrained eye. I could look at it for you, and make my best guess, but I'd need a high res (3 megapixels if you can, the more the better) photo, and even then, might make a mistake (PM me, and I'll get back to you if you wish). On that note, make sure you find a place with a one week minimum return policy. You may find that you plug something in just fine, and your computer runs great for 5 minutes and dies. Or only runs once. If you can find it, Fry's Electronics has everything you need, but the people that work there are idiots and will try to sell you whatever you don't want, regardless of whether or not it will work in your computer. I was trying to buy a flat screen monitor with the old style analog plug (the blue colored on on most computers), and they kept on pushing me for the newer digital stuff, saying that "you can just up convert it." No, dumbasses, analog != digital, and it's out of my price range.

Hopefully he'll learn not to try and push quite possibly unconstitutional bills though the state assembly and then waste tax money fighting it in court. Plus, he has failed the bar exam 4 times . Disclaimer: These are my opinions, and I am wholy responsible for them.
