I'd suggest to get 1GB+ of RAM. A computer with say 2GB of ram and a 128MB FX5200 vid card (crap) will outperform the computer with 512MB RAM and a 256MB Vid card (6800). Course, the one with the 6800 would look more visually appealing with a 6800, as the higher bit rate gives much more details. If you want it, have a linkkie to some pc3200 DDR, 2x1GB sticks (so a couple gig, I have four and can verify quality) for $249.
