What I find odd about all of this, was, I updated my drivers and it seemed to work fine for a while but then it started glitching up again. And now it says "Max memory has been used." So, does that mean I have to buy more memory? Because I have an expansion bay on my computer, I just need to know what to do.

The not found there irritates me. Maybe those drivers didn't install right ? Let me get back to you on that.
Also, yes your memory is almost entirely used up but since the game is a 32 bit application, you can't add any memory. It won't do you any good.
EDIT: Seems that's a non issue. Just means that the game might put your settings to high.
I would just get a better card for your computer.
Be aware that you only have a 300 W power supply so not all cards will work with your computer. Do some research before buying something.
Ok, then my next question is, do you think I could manually put it into my computer with no prior knowledge of how to put a graphics card into a computer, or, do you think I should pay someone to do it?
I can't answer you that question. I really depends how safe you feel trying something you haven't done before, if you have ever done anything on your computer or if this is a first.
I would look around the net for articles on how to do it and then decide if you feel confident to do it. I guess it also depends on your financial means.
If you have a friend that knows a lot about hardware, you could also ask them to assist.
Good Luck and I hope you get it running better soon.
