I have another question for all you guys. These are my system specs:

Athlon XP 1700+ @ 1.47 GHz
512 MB of RAM

Do you think it I would get a major boost in performance (during games) if I upgraded my processor? Is it worth it? [/B]
Yes, while 1.4 is "good" think 2.4 is better. Will you notice the difference? Yes. Will the difference be where you think it will be? No. I do not have the time to explain now, but I will get on later to explain more in detail, and if anyone else wants to tackle this, feel free, while upgrading a CPU is good, (I assume your bus speed now is what 233, 266?) upgrading your Mobo would be better, 333 is good, but 400 is fast becoming the standard. (the importance of bus speed: http://www20.tomshardware.com/mother...sspeed-01.html)
