With a P4 2.4GHz with 256MB of RAM, you can run a lot. Although I would
upgrade the RAM to 1GB and get a fast graphics card, e.g. ATI 9700 Pro.
With the additions I mentioned, you can run almost anything fast, Photoshop,
Unreal, Unreal Tournament 2003. In fact, a machine like that is almost a
server.

Your worry is understandable, considering you are spending money on an
upgrade.

1GB of RAM is overkill. 256MB will do just fine for a while. Get
512MB if you want to look to the future. When I jumped to 1GB of RAM,
I noticed no difference whatsoever. The jump from 256MB to 512MB was
negligible.

The video card depends on what games you're going to play.
