my current pc specs you can see in my sig and i was wondering if i should continue to try to upgrade it or just wait and start saving money to build a new computer?

I guess the two most important questions ( to me, at least) would be...
Does your motherboard support a faster chip?
Is there room for more memory?
Edit: If the answer is yes, I would be tempted to upgrade and wait to build new for a while. See how the 64bit chip thing shakes out...

The ram sux...the cpu sux...the gcard is ok...hard drive looks good..i would save up and start a new comp immediatly! althought i am not one to talk..look at my sig lol

better than mine

I started off just like you did and just kept picking up parts when I coul;d find them at the right price and I sold all my old parts for half of what I bought my new ones for.I am still upgrading and pretty much have nothing left of the original comp I started with other than the keyboard and mouse and floppy drive and I am only into my complete system (including my speakers,printer,scanner,gamepad etc) for about 600-700 if that.
Gigabyte GA7-VT600 P-L
Athlon XP2500+ @ 3200+
512mb OCZ DDR333 (2,3,3,7)
Samsung SP8004h 80gig harddrive
Radeon 9200 128 mb
LG cdrw/dvd drive
It's going to be a while before 64-bit processors are a reasonable price, I would suggest this is upgrade time, then start saving your money for 64-bit next time.
Upgrade the motherboard, processor and ram, there are some good deals around if you don't go for the ultimate specs. Remember to check if your power supply is good enough.
.Political correctness is based on the principle that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
so what upgrade will be the better bang for the buck:
-CORSAIR 512MB PC3200 DDR RAM
-Asus Motherboard for AMD Athlon XP/Duron Processors, Model# A7N8X Deluxe Retail
-AMD ATHLON XP 2500+ "Barton" 333 FSB PROCESSOR CPU- RETAIL
$300
or
-CORSAIR 512MB PC3200 DDR RAM
-ABIT IS7,Intel 865PE chipset for Socket 478 P4 ATX motherboard RETAIL
-Intel Pentium 4 / 2.4CGHz 512k socket 478 Hyper Threading Technology 800 MHz FSB - RETAIL
$365
and if i get one of these combinations will all of my other parts work like my videocard and my hard-drive?
