I agree on the memory upgrade.. Unless you are making a drastic move on CPU power there really is no point in upgrading it.

Such as P3 to a P4 would be something worthwhile.. but not just putting another chip in.

As an example.. I just purchased an XP2500 processor. equilvalent to about a 1.8Ghz Pentium. This will be an upgrade from my old P3 850 Processor. I spent 100 dollars on the XP2500 chip. If I had just bought a faster P3 (900Mhz) it would have cost me 90 dollars. Really not worth it if I could get something much better for 10 dollars more.

Kind of make sense?
