help with processor selection

Hi all, I was just wondering if a AMD athlon XP 2600+ processor would be a good upgrade for me. I have an asus A7N8X-E deluxe mobo with 768mb PC3200 DDR and currently a AMD athlon XP 1700+ cpu. I also have a Nvidia Geforce 6600GT video card and XP home. I know i'm a little behind the times but i'm just looking for a cost-effective upgrade, oh and I can get the 2600+ CPU for just under $30 or would I be better off getting 1GB of ram for the same price?
which would be better for gaming performance? thanks in advance!
