running Win XP pro corporate

use it mostleh for gaming/music n stuff

imma upgrade soon i guess

Hewlett-Packard bought by my dad for a cheap supplement to his baby and i inheireted it, i would rather have built but i added teh video card:

Asus some odd motherboard

Athlon xp 1600+ @ 1.4ghz

one stick of 512mb sdram pc133

Geforce 3 ti200 oced (by 5mhz for right now olool its a new card, got it last week)

16x DVD rom

16x8x40 cd-rw

60gb Ultra DMA hard drive

xp home edition (legally bought ;0)

standard mouse and keyboard that come with h-p

17" moniter at 60hz i think

SHITTY ASS SPEAKERS!

and a neuspeed sticker which adds +10mhz

Dude, why not go for a mobo upgrade and switch to DDR?

DDR doesn't make that big a difference in gaming performance - I did some before and after comparisons when I doubled my memory and its clockspeed, and there was only a slight improvement on the range of 3D performance.  The biggest players in 3D performance are - obviously - processor speed/efficiency, FSB speed, and 3D card performance.  You really don't want your 3D card accessing the system memory at all; rather, you want it operating off of its integrated memory, to get the best overall bandwidth and speed.  If it has to go searching in the system at all, even at 333 Mhz you'll see significant strain in whatever 3D game you're playing.  

Fast memory is just an added benefit that improves a bunch things a little bit, but it's not hugely necessary for most 3D gamers, as system memory bandwidth is not usually the main bottleneck.  Unless you're running a server...

so you're saying that the performance gain in 3D games would be neglligible, where memory is concerned?

I suppose I understand your theory and see the logic behind it more or less.
