Hmm, I would update the Memory to 2GB of ram and definelty upgrade the vid card. I had a 6200 until I got my computer last month and I was amazed at the changes.

he means he wants his gaming experience better, rather than it being a lag fest

Upgrade the video card. I have the same one right now and as soon as I find a job I'm gonna buy a new one.

RAM + graphics cards = the most bang for your upgrade buck, both pretty easy to install, my laptop has an nvidia 6800 so i know you're hurting with some of the new stuff, but i can't upgrade it, hell even medieval 2: total war is giving it a workout.

just read the hell up on them so you know what you're getting, then wait til after christmas and clean up on teh overstock

you'd be surprised actually mate. I used to lag like a bitch, and now i lag slightly less, and there has definitely been an improvement in my performance as a player, and my general enjoyment. not that i claim to be any good. and my video card is still a pile of faeces - x600 "hyper(gay)memory"
