Erm...Google?

Yeah, that's the ticket.

Maybe u should try to save up. To me this seems like the best idea but if its too much to save up some good money then u should go for a better cpu, mem, and gfx card but all of that to be ok is still over ur budget.

Better memory would be incompatible and mean buying a new board anyway.

You should be able to pick up a Sempron 2400 for around the £40 mark, then add a cheap mobo for £30-£40, then £60-ish for 1GB of PC3200 would leave about £60 for a gfx card.
Like I said, it ain't gonna rock the world...

That's a good price!

Spending money to upgrade that computer is a total waste of time. Even if you where to buy new ram and a new vid card it would still be uselss with todays games. Save up man, start from scratch (and this time with an AMD):P

arent semprons not best for gaming, i thought athlons were better?
