What actual computer do you have?
Also, do you want to spend 25-50 dollars on each or together?

Every new setup (for a computer) you can obtain these days can run Mabinogi. The requirements for that game is only a Radeon 7000 and a Pentium III.

Some more information about the processor you have will be good (to determine the slot for the CPU).

I need to know the CPU you have. Go to:
Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> System

At the bottom of the "System Properties" box that pops up, it should say:

System:
<CPU line (ex. Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 CPU)>
<CPU and CPU speed (ex. 4300 @1.80GHz)>

So, I need the above information, nothing more.

As for manufacturer, I'd go with Abit, Gigabyte, Asus, but those companies usually raise the price of their motherboards higher than competitors because they use higher quality parts (ex. Solid State Capacitors). I'm running an ECS motherboard, it's working fine , as long as I don't overclock it too much.

Mabinogi gaming? Or more than that?

Your CPU should be fine for the game, RAM is pretty low, try to get at least 512MB. The RAM shouldn't really affect gameplay too much, it's a bigger deal of your graphics card.

Go back to the "System Properties" panel, select the "Hardware" tab, click "Device Manager", and double click "Display Adapters".

It should say something like:
Radeon 9550
Radeon 9550 Secondary

Knowing what video card you have decides what slot you have. In the worst-case scenario, you can always buy an PCI (horrible price/performance) graphics card.

Side note: Yes, I know I have a horrible graphics card. But it's still somewhat better than the integrated graphics I have on my motherboard.

It's an integrated graphics chip, so swapping out your motherboard will be changing your graphics too.

I'm almost sure that you are running a Northwood Socket 478.

I think the onboard graphics will be able to play Mabinogi fine.
