You could bump the ram up to 1024 with an extra stick of 512

That is usually always a fine performance upgrade

Also I'm not sure if DVDs or music is important but you can probably get some decent speakers for $100 like basic 5.1 surround sound

you could easily get 5.1 speakers for under $100 unless you want to use digital sound. i agree with the brettman the only benefit you might get without an overhaul is more RAM.
