I'd say RAM. Get another stick of 512 MB.

HAHHAHA this was like the most incorrect answer this month ^^

You need a new graphics-card. The 5200 is even worse than the GF4 MX-series :]]

I played with a 6800 GT adn 512 MB until recently and just had some minor lag problems a little now and then, but it was playable. I can't imagine how it plays at that card, but it can't be healthy :P

I'd say get a really decent vid-card (6800 GT/Ultra / x800XT/XL) and buy yourself 512MB more of that RAM you have later on. If you can't afford any of the listed cards above, buy a 6600 GT, and if you can't afford that, you wait :]]

Umm, he clearly needs a new CPU people......

jk what you need is another gig of ram and a new video card. If you get one, the other will hold you back. Get them both at the same time. If you dont have the money for that now, wait.

As far as video cards go, the 6600gt is a decent mid range card for not too much money. A step up would be the X800XL, its a great card for the money.. and its still less than 300 bucks at some places.

You'll see a huge difference with a 1 gig of RAM.

Actually, no. You'll notice a huge difference with 1 GIG of RAM from 512 MB and if you read the post above, the poster says his VC runs fine for BF2.

I will have to agree with getting both at the same time. The lack of RAM will hold back the video card performance if you just get a new video card. Though I have to say getting RAM would thow on a noticable difference, I saw save up for both.
