Well. for starters adding another 1gb of DDR2 ram for under 30 bucks wouldn't hurt.

You can upgrade to a Pentuim D 925 3ghz processor for 95 bucks.

Throw in an AGP 8x/4x ATI Radeon 1650Pro for under 70 dollars.

total, 185 dollars and you will see a big diff then what you have now.

All of this can be found on newegg.com,

The very least you need is a gaming video card, but Cobra_R's other suggestions are solid.
