Post Computer upgrades
Hey, I'm thinking after break I'll probably have 100-200 dollars to spend, and I might wanna do something for my computer. Since it seems like the cool thing to do, I wanna ask you guys what you think the biggest issue is. If you think "no way that's getting any better with 100-200 bucks", then I guess choose "save up for a new computer". If you have ideas, please help me out.

*Note: I'm pretty much satisfied with condition zero, so don't assume I'll be playing source or bf2 or anything.

My specs:

OS: Windows XP HE
Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1500+, MMX, 3DNow, ~1.4GHz
Memory: 624MB RAM
HD: 40 gb, about 7 gb free
Vid card: 128 mb ATI RADEON 9100
Sound card: Shitty C-Media "AC97" thing that came with my comp...
Cd-rom: 52x32x52

Mouse (lol for strange): HP Optical 5-button mouse (P2353AA)

So, what it is?

I'd say faster CPU (the one in ur room right? and not the "turbo button" one??) mainly because i've played on it and it needs it. then the video card, because I think mine is about equal level to yours (128MB NVIDIA GeForce 5200) and I need better. I only have 512MB RAM, i need mroe according to Gman, so i guess an ATI Radeon X700 or X800 is what i'm huntin. ask Doc, or liz, or super, because they can explain it pretty well.

Yeah, I just want what's gonna make the biggest diff. in gameplay for my money. I don't think I need much more for CPU, seeing as I'm just running CZ.

I was thinking video card because right now I usually top at around 30 fps, even with all the commands everyone is telling me to try.
