Ok here are the specs to my computer.. and I was wondering if I can upgrade this anymore or should I buy a new rig? I know this rig is old but I dont have the money to upgrade... I know I could up grade the cpu to a AMD Athlon XP 3400 but I dont think .200 more processing power is going to matter? If someone could maybe look over my specs and tell me what I could do to improve my proformance cause I would love to get better FPS in my games.. Thank you.

:welcome:

Well your video card could easily be boosted, The thing is I am going to be real foggy on this one since it's been awhile for the good ol agp type days, Will your CPU be a huge bottleneck for even a decent Agp card like this 3850 I'm linking and also, Do you know the name and size of your PSU?

Perhaps you could find something like a 66gt/X800/X800GTO on ebay.
