"RAM/Graphic Card help"

I have had my pc for two years now, and I believe it is time now just to give it a little bit of a boost in memory etc.

My current spec:
2.66Ghz P4
512MB DDR-SDRAM 333Mhz
4x AGP 128MB ATi Radeon 9200
80GB HDD

its a HP pavilion pc.

Can anyone tell me where the cheapest place is to get another 512MB for this? I have two slots and of course i got a 512 already in one slot. I have looked on here but the speeds seem to be faster than the one i got now, does that matter? I dnt really fancy buying more than i need to.

Also, my graphics card is crap..plays san andreas at such a crap frame rate..

Anyone got any ideas? ive seen a XFX Geforce 6200A 512 MB AGP Graphics Card that is cheap but does anyone know if it plays games well?? anyone got any ideas of a decent card for less and 100 quid?? It says its a 8x when i think my pc only supports up to 4x???

Thanks for your help

for £100 you can get a 6600GT which is a hell of a lot faster than a POS 6200. 512mb RAM is about £30, 400MHz RAM will just work at the lower 333MHz speed. If you can find 333MHz it'll probably be the same price anyway (or more).

AGP 6800s are £117
