not much room for an upgrade...

You may want to just build new. Prices are really low on processors and DDR2!

The processor is below minimum spec for some new games. It's a pretty balanced system for mid to low resolution gaming. I agree, don't put more money into it.


side note, I am surprised you have an X1650 pro running stable on a 150W PSU.

I was surprised too never had any problems with it with games like quake 4 or doom 3 on high settings, I took the chance as the card was going cheap
