What Athlon is it? 1.8GHz or 1800+ That's not the same!
If it is a 1.8GHz, it is called XP2200+ and it's as fast as a Pentium 4 2,2GHz...
For Gaming, your CPU is absolutly OK! You need RAM and a good Graphics Adapter...
Graphics Adapter >> means another mainboard >> very simple
If you want to spent less money, you can't buy a nforce board.
You've to take a VIA KT400 or KT266, for example.
Give the GF6200 back to your dealer and let him give you the money back...
How much did it cost? 80,- EUR?
>>Your budget is 80,- EUR
Sell your board with 384 MB RAM on eBay (without CPU and Cooler)...
>>I think you'll get 30,- or 40,- EUR for it.
Now you have about 110,- EUR for RAM, Board an a Graphics Adapter!
Let us see:
Used Gigabyte, MSI or Asus board:
Examples...
KT266

Take 20,- for the KT266 or 35,- for the nforce (within shipping)

>> 33,50 EUR (within shipping)
Now we have max. 70,- EUR >> 40,- for Graphics...
Graphics (AGP):
You have to take a older one with 128MB, but good quality.
A Geforce 4 is faster than "lower" Geforce 5 cards.
Example:

or a new ATI Radeon 9250 or used 9600...
For 110,- EUR you CAN play games like HL2 or FarCry - but of course not on "high solution" details...
...for that you need high performance gamer pc for 1000,- EUR...
