Good luck finding cheap enough RAM for the system.
RAM from that era used PC100, PC133 or RDRAM. The first two can be had for dirt cheap ($60 for 512MB). RDRAM is almost impossible to find while Rambus, the company that made it, is currently in litigation battles with half the RAM market (hahaha).
But I don't think your problem is going to be RAM. Your problem is that you're using integrated graphics (585MB of RAM gives it away). You'll need a graphics card that works with an old PCI slot, and those tend to be more expensive since everything these days runs on an incompatible graphics card slot (PCI-E).
Why are you trying to buy a desktop with XP? Just get a cheapo laptop (not a netbook, a laptop). A netbook may not have the horsepower required for Maplestory. I generally do not recommend using integrated graphics with Maplestory. Anyway, any PC you find you can also install XP on it no problemo.
