For that amount, I would stay with what you already have listed. That should run vista and everything else you need to run. You already have a decent system.

$150? That will get you a motherboard, but that's about it.

n order to install and play Battlefield 2142, your system must meet or exceed the following minimum system requirements.

In order to play the game at the recommended resolution, detail and performance levels, your computer should match or exceed the following specifications:

Operating System: Windows XP with latest service pack installed DirectX 9.0c February 2006 edition (included)
CPU: 3.0 Ghz
RAM: 1.5 Gb
Video Card: 256Mb DirectX compliant video card, Pixel shader 2.0 and above.
Hard Drive space: 1.8Gb of space is required to install the game
Internet connection: 512Mb Cable/DSL connection


Your video card specs

Yeah it will play it on the lowest settings, but I would upgrade to what you can afford. You are like me, still stuck with an agp card. I have an ATI 9700pro card and it plays Unreal Tournament 2k4 very well at high res. But BF is a lot more demanding game.

I'm waiting to upgrade until the newest release of Unreal comes out, which should be around October. By then the prices will have dropped for everything.
