RAM or HD for my system

[Zarick]

I got about 100 bucks to spend right now and I want to upgrade a little bit. I mainly game. Here is what I got right now:

shuttle an35n ultra 400 mobo
athlon barton 2800+
512 buffalo winbond pc3200
radeon 9800pro
20gig maxtor UATA66/7200rpm 2mb
13gig maxtor UATA66/7200rpm 2mb
winxp home

So I am thinking I need another 512 of ram and I also need a new HD since both are pretty well maxed out (well I got a few gigs).

Since I can only do one do you guys have any suggestion on which would give me the most bang for my buck at this time gaming wise?

Yeah I saw that.. is that an amazing deal or what. 70 bucks for a 200 gig hd. I wonder though if I would be losing out with ata100 vs ata133.

plus 5 yr warranty versus

20gig maxtor UATA66/7200rpm 2mb
13gig maxtor UATA66/7200rpm 2mb

probably out of/or near out of warranty

So the question is. Would I be better of getting that HD deal or picking up another 512 of ram. Both my HDs are about 4years old. Would I see more improvements with ram? ... the thought of 200gigs .. no uninstalling.. mmmmmm

I like that idea. Wouldn't take a whole lot more money either.
