If I might semi-hijack the thread a bit, I've been interested in breaking into this genre for a long time and I finally have a machine that can play probably anything up to last year? I'd probably have to upgrade the video card to play something like Skyrim.
What would be a good entry point for someone who grew up playing the hell out of JRPGs, bearing in mind that minor limitation?

Planescape: Torment, Neverwinter Nights or Morrowind.

I'll second Dragon Age and Skyrim. But they're pretty obvious.
If you're not completely bound by the fantasy genre then I'd recommend the Mass Effect series (I get my ME3 Collector's edition tomorrow woot!) and Fallout 3.
Oh, and Star Wars KotOR 1 & 2.

Earthbound. Search for it's roms on the internet.

The only one I ever really enjoyed was Chrono Cross. I think it's pretty old now, though.

If you are into Star Wars, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic is boss.
Also try Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning.

Star Wars: KOTOR II was good, although you may need to play the first one for it to make sense (it's been a long time since I've played). I remember feeling II was a deeper game, particularly (though not exclusively) due to Kreia's character.
I saw Chrono Cross mentioned. I really liked that too, but I think it'd make a lot more sense if you played Chrono Trigger first. Which leads me to my next point... play Chrono Trigger. Seriously... play it. Do it! 
Other than that... Mother 3; Final Fantasy IV, VI, VII, IX or X; Xenogears; Morrowind; that's all I can think of for fantasy really. I have a feeling I'm really forgetting something, but whatever.

II was not as deep, they just added more gameplay...played it on the Xbox and it crashed the system because they tried to do to much with the combat. If you are going to do it right, you have to get the mods that add the deleted content when the game was rushed by George Lucas.
