Current System:

P4 3.2 GHz with HT
1.5 GB (1 GB + 512 MB)
BFG GeForce 6600 GT 256MB

Debating about throwing an additional $100 into the system:

1) Upgrade video card to a BFG GeForce 7600 GT 256 MB

2) Remove 512 MB of RAM and replace with a matching 1 GB to allow for true DDR

3) Replace stock Intel Audio with a true sound card

----------

Basically, I've purchased Star Trek: Legacy and its the first game I've played to make the system chug. I can't tell if it is hitting the hard drive or if it is just having a hard time rendering everything.

Recommendations welcome.

going from 1.5 to 2GB will probably be marginal, but i guess the dual channel will kick in and help, as long as you have a dual channel mobo. you won't get "true DDR", btw - you might get "true dual channel", but DDR is DDR, regardless of how many DIMMs you have or if they're matched or whatever.
