I know ideally I should be increasing both, but my wife will not necessarily agree ;) It won't cost much to upgrade to 1024 MB RAM (or is it worthwhile to go higher, like 1.5 GB), but upgrading a graphics card can get pricey. Where would be the better "bang for the buck"? Any recommendations for a mid-level graphics card (AGP 8x) that's a good value?

Thanks.

Definitely upgrading your RAM will be the quickest and cheapest fix. If your board can handle the extra, getting a 1 GB stick would be helpful.

I'm an Nvidia adherent, so if you go the graphics card route, the over clocked 6800s and 7200s (?) are probably reasonably priced (i.e., c. $200).
