You don’t say how much RAM you have, but if you are gaming, 512mb should
be a minimum.  And you would probably need to update the video card as
well.  I would consider moving to something like an ATI 9800 Pro.  It
handles C&C Generals, Far Cry, etc, without a problem in my system.

Subject: [PCBUILD] upgrade RAM vs. video card
 

I noticed yesterday that lots of moving polygons (specifically tanks in
C&C Generals) really slows down my computer.  I'm wondering, if I wanted
to fix this, which would help more: RAM or a better video card?  I have
a Geforce FX 5200, so pretty much everything should be better.
