based on my beginner level on pcsx2. Your system would definitely benefit from first change the GPU. The onboard GPU is slow and it doesn't help when it's sharing the memory with RAM. Adding a new GPU should be easier if your board have a pci-x slot.
The next to change would be CPU as it only uses SSE2. This is much harder to change because you will need to change the whole motherboard and the RAM. Changing to Intel based system would means you need to run at least DDR2 memory. I see you are using only DDR1 now.
2GB ram is more than enough to run PCSX2.
Another thing that you might try if you really need more FPS is to install a totally new OS using dualboot. This is a new OS just install the minimum and load minimum services. No wall paper and no sound and no nothing. This will push a few FPS more into games.
