My philosophy when it comes to computers is the fastest part of your computer is the slowest part. That will be the system bus, which is where all the data must pass through. It controls the speed of everything from your CPU to your memory and PCI or AGP cards. Your computer is as fast as its ability to retrieve and execute data. Also consider your hard drive, being a significant bottleneck, you computer can be the fastest on the block but have clunker hard drive and slow the system down too, because your system must wait for the hard drive to retrieve the data. Having more ram allows your to run more and store more programs so it doesn't have to go to the hard drive as often. Considering money, I'd upgrade the RAM , but the hard drive will be a bigger bottle neck because that is where most of the activity will be coming from. RAM and Motherboard are the foundation of everything, but most of your activity will be coming from your hard drive

RAM first. its cheap and easy to install. if that doesn't work, get a new processor and mother board
