Graphics card is weak, Processor is abit slow, since it's AMD, OC it if you can, it really depends on which games you want to play, 2D should do fine, but anything 3D is really questionable on that system.

4GB of RAM wouldn't help with the emulator, but I'd still get it.

32 bit and 64 bit do not matter right now, but due to your weak GFX card, I suggest you just do Windows XP SP2, as it only helps Graphics card wise.

XP is faster for me. The 256 color trick helps a lot and does not work in vista

not everything runs better with dx10.

some games get some glitches, like FFX with DX10 gets a black stripe that divides characters in half when you use texture filtering.
but the game works good with DX9.
