cant believe you are running on 512MB.
upgrading just the RAM will be a huge increase for you.
Go to 2GB....

No point in upgrading the size of your HDD. It sounds like its IDE anyways, so unless you completely replace your HDD with a new SATA one (if the motherboard even supports SATA) changing the size wont gain you any performance.

You could add a good video card for about $100... though, do you have one now or is it just the stock onboard video? If so I would add a new vid card to go along with your new ram.

Other than that, nothing else. Not much else you can do that will be a good value for money and gain on that machine.
More RAM, new video card, and a fresh OS install and that bitch will be blazing. Buy an external drive to backup your files too before the OS reinstall
