thats a pretty nice system already!
If you want to upgrade, and if you game alot
I would surely up to a 128 meg video card....can be pricey
but well worth it for what you are using your pc for.
You might wanna consider adding a dvd drive for playing
regular dvds and/or ripping of dvds. You could also
add another hard drive...you can never have enough drive space... 80 gig for $100 us. And if that is an actual 24x cdrom and not a cdrw... I would definitely install a burner and/or upgrade the cdrom. Hope this helps ya!

for that much money ... you can get more stuff than mentioned ...

I suggest you get atleast Sound Blaster Live! since you watch DVD ...

By the way ... you will also need a DVD drive instead of the 24X CD-ROM ...

Good Luck!

Sorry for the late reply ...

Best sound card? IMHO ... Creative SoundBlaster Audigy ...

best cooling system company? IMHO (again) ... SwiftTech ...

Good luck!

That's a real old system.

Yeah it is old

If you into games, I suggest going a single processor solution, games are not written for dual processors or dual cores yet.
