I would say more ram and windows xp, though some people say windows xp causes all these problems and stuff but i haven't seen anything except for that program won't end sh*t. but why put more money into something that's so old, you can probably buy a faster pc at some pawn shop or something for like $200-$400 like 1.5ghz 2ghz maybe even with ddr266. check it out man.

can any1 help me wiv this 1 also does any1 know why a bx master mb does not have any way of changin the agp to 1x 2x ?
If you can change the fsb in the bios you can oc, but if it's not adjustable you can't. just watch your temps if you can oc it. agp 1x 2x is no good, why would you want that??
