I'd say search around for maybe a few cold cathodes, bigger HDD (130 GB? 200?), and 512 MB of DDR RAM, and that should come out to roughly $200, give or take $20

Got to agree there more RAM will give you the biggest performance boost in all areas.

I can't believe you only got 256 ram!!!...I'd go and buy the 2x512 of some nice quick RAM (FSB speed is more important than timings too).

Oh and WELCOME TO THE FORUMS
