Ok, well i got this new(used) computer, and it needs a few upgrades, but i only have money for one. Which is more important
RAM, or vid card?

Bare in mind that im going to primarily use this machine for gaming

here are the specs
- ASUS P4B266-C motherboard with manual
- Power Supply, 380watts,
- Intel Pentium4 1.6ghz(pretty sure its really 2.0ghz) overclocked to2.27ghz(568mhz FSB)
- Western Digital 80gb Hard Drive (74.4gb after Windows partitions it)
- Creative Labs 4.2 Sound Card
- Ethernet Card
- 92mm or so fan in cage above processor
- I/O Magic 40x12x48 CD-RW Drive
- Floppy drive
- 256mb PC2100 RAM
- nVidia Vanta video card

Ive had sevral people tell me diffrent things

"Well, id go with the vid card, you can always OC your ram"
"Buy the ram, what goods a vid card if you cant run the game?"

What is your opnion?
 
You will most likely need to upgrade both to get a decent gaming experience. A nVidia Vanta card is not what I would conisder gaming quality. getting up to 512MB of RAM to start wouldn't hurt as well.
