Upgrade question

Ok, on my new PC I am looking to add one more upgrade hardware (or software...) that I would notice. I'm trying to make this pc decent for both gaming and multimedia. My current build is:


windows xp mce 2005
3.6ghz intel p4 (no bashing please, i know amd is better for gaming blah blah)
1gb ram
320gb raid0 hd 7200rpms
ati radeon x800xt card
sound blaster audigy2 ZS sound card
hauppauge 150mce tv tuner card
dual layer dvdrw/cdrw + dvd rom

Now if I were to make one upgrade or add something in which I would notice a difference, what should it be? Not asking for an intel amd switch suggestion either. I dont want to spend too much...

btw - I am happy with my monitor/keyboard/mouse atm.

Best upgrade to do would be to package it up and ship it to me. Then you can play the game called Life with *no* FPS drops.
