    Question What should i Upgrade first?

    My system specs are below in my profile. I have about $150 i can spend on upgrades. Would it make more sense to go with a new processor? If so, which one?

    I was also thinking about upgrading to 512mb ram and getting an OEM audigy 2 sound card to upgrade the sb Live! 5.1 i have. I need help decisiong which method i should take first.

    Thanks a lot.

    I'd say the ram too. 256mb ram just doesn'y cut it anymore (especially IF you're running XP Home/Pro ) I think gamplay would improve with extra ram so go that route first.
