Im looking to upgrade a part of my computer so games will be smoother to play. My specs are...
Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)
System Memory 512.3 Processor Speed 1994.0
DirectX Version 9.0c Display Device (Get Drivers) RADEON 9800 PRO
Display Memory 128.0 Display Driver 6.14.10.6542
Sound Device SB Live! Wave Device Sound Driver 5.12.01.3300

From a game point, what should I upgrade next? I am a pc noob so im not really sure....I was thinking about getting more ram or getting a new proccesor so the games like bf2 and WoW are faster. Im looking to spend around 100...Thanks.

What type of processor do you have?

And more RAM would definately help.

intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.00GHz
1.99GHz, 512mb of ram....

I found this info in system properties.

Sounds like your system is good to go, a little more RAM wouldn't hurt, but it seems like a pretty decent machine for games.

Is it good for gaming? And how would I know if my computer will allow it?
