Ask a vague question you get a vague answer

Without system specs there isn't much way in terms of help.

That said, biggest performance gains will be with gpu, cpu and memory.

I would say upgrade your memory.

Buy another 512MB of Ram and pick yourself up a 6600GT, you'd see a dramatic increase in gaming performance....

Re: how can i increase my pc performance?

I would go for a 6800 ultra if u can get ur hands on it.
The 6600 gt will give you some headache because it simply aint fast enough if you want eyecandy. I can tell cause i have one. Only the old 77.92 drivers will give you a nice fps. If you dont really care about playing bf2 on high, a 6600 gt will do. I get like 70-80 fps out of it @ 1280*1024 at these settings:

Resolution : 1280/1024@ 75hz - Maximium my monitor can do, Get this high as possible is your best choice
Terrain : LOW - Uses up power when theres no need and enemys get harder to spot!!!
Effects : LOW - Absolutly pointless, Again, makes it harder spot enemys. Power hungry as well over low & high is a killer
Geometary : HIGH - Allows enemys to be seen at longer distances. Which is handy!!!!
Texture : LOW - More/longer grass etc. Harder to see enemy any higher than low
Lighting : LOW - Above low it becomes VERY HARD to spot people in buildings etc.
Dyn. Shad : LOW - Either off or low, Low tends to allow you see shadows of people on roofs
Dyn. Light : low - Power hungry and makes things glare, Again, this really disadvantages you seeing the enemy
Anti-Anil : 4x - without saying, a more sharper, clearer image atr longer distance.
Text Filt : HIGH - Same as Anti-Anil, just improving textures at longer distance
View Distance : 100% - This goes without saying!!!!

Or for the same price get an X800XT PE, which is better than an ultra by about 10-20%, and it loves anti-aliasing.
