Cheap Upgrade for gaming or not?

[kingofhearts951]

I have a XP 2400+ Thoroughbred 1.992 with pc2100

I was wondering how would a 3200+ Barton with 3200 memery do for gaming. I'm kinda on a budget

My Specs
MSI K7N2 Delta2-LSR
XP 2400+ Thoroughbred
1gig PC2100 DDR266
160 WD 8MB 7200rpm
MSI Geforce 6800 128MB

A 3200 barton is a dead end upgrade, IMO. You could go with some faster RAM and a 2500 XP-M and try OCing it. Probably better to wait and save your money for a more extensive upgrade.

A socket 754 motherboard + sempron overclocked would be a better idea.
