Thanks! It is ordered, hope it all fits correctly. Thank you all for your assistance.

Anyone?

Thank you for your replies. I have 2 slots left open so no problems there. Does anyone have any recommendations of software configurations that will help my system run faster during gameplay even after these upgrades. It sounds like many of you have a lot of knowledge in software configuration as well as hardware configuration. Any advice would be appreciated. Is all PC133 168 pin or do I need to check that before I order? Also, my budget is $200, is the combination below a good choice for the money or would you all do something different? Here is what I plan to buy: Lite-On 16

anyone?

Ok, it says I have 256 MB (PC133 SDRAM) Way cool program by the way. So, am I correct in thinking that if I purchase any PC133 memory it will work with my system? Will the pins all be standard for PC133, all that good stuff? How do I know how much I can put in? If I bought a 512 to add to the 256 would it take it all or not past 512? Also, I see that my video card is only 32MB, that sucks. I cannot wait to get a faster one.

How do I know what type of memory I have besides looking in the case? Also, I only have $200 to spend, at this time building a new system is not an option. Any advice? I know I will not need the CD Burner, my question is should I remove both drives, or leave one of them. And if I was to leave the DVD or CDRW drive, which one would you leave in?

Greetings all. Below is the system specs for my computer. Also, near the bottom are the upgrades I was considering on a budget of less than $200 for Christmas. Please give me any advice you may have. Games are most important for me, if that helps.
