Here's my current config. Whats the first thing you would upgrade?
[list]
)I can play games like CS with pod bot and RU without a problem. But games like Halo play soo poorly that I cant play 'em. I have a demo for Unreal 2 and Breed and those play with a little bit of lag but not so much as to prevent gameplay.

| I'd go processor and then double the ram. There's no such thing as too much ram... |
Baaarr!!! Yes I recently wanted to get me some more ram, but it would of cost me like ?50 for 256SDRAM. I was a bit narked as recently I thought the prices had dropped.
[addsig]So if I got a second stick of Crucial 256DDR 333 ram...
What about the processor?
Obviously I have (and want) to stay with AMD cause IMO I get the better deal from them.
But what processor could I go for?
Athlon XP 2100 333Mhz for 101.00$ (Can)
Athlon XP 2500 333Mhz for 136.00$ (Can)
Athlon XP 2700 333Mhz for 183.00$ (Can)
Since I have almost no money, and dont want to spend everything I have on computers... I am definatly thinking the 2700 is out of the question. But then should I go for the 2500 cause its faster for little bit more or is there not much difference between the 2100 and the 2500?
[addsig]check the clock speeds of the plus series AMD chips, some chips run faster and have smaller numbers..
IE a 2400+ runs at 2.0 ghz, but a 2500+ only runs at 1.8 ghz
check these prices
[addsig]Bah, I'll continue spending my money on three "upgrades" for a while yet:
I don't upgrade my PC - I just wait for it to become so old that everything is obsolete
Badminton - each shuttle costs ?1; each towelling grip costs ?3 (wear out fast); stringing costs ?20; rackets ?80 each.
Caving - cheaper than diving, but still looking at ?400-?1000 for a complete set of expedition-level kit.
Diving - *shudder* all my kit/training cost me ?1000, and that's without my own regulator, tanks, blobs, line, ponies......
So you can see why I don't spend much money on my PC these days.

[addsig]for general system performance, get more ram- especially if you are running XP on that thing.
and the faster cpu is a good bet, if that mobo can handle one significantly faster.
2 things definately...
1) my house...with all the snow lately, im aging before my time....hawaii sounds good....or maybe arizona
2) i'd buy a muzzle for my wife, to keep her from bitching about all the snow lately, me aging before my time, and not moving to...hawaii...
ok....3 things then...
3) i'd just go server and network (profeesional style) with all my crapy little parts sitting in.....the dumpster....
