unless ur severly metaly retarded u no christmas is coming up and we get gifts well im wondering if i should get a new processor or just get a big ass ram stick. heres my specs all good except for the dam processor:
2.6ghz celeron
256 mb
256 geforce fx
80gb
win home sp2

the main thing i wann a do is play unreal and other games with a very fast load rate. on the map torlan (some of u might no this map on unreal) it takes about 45 secs which sucks but with my vid card i can play all 32 max ppl with no lag at all its just this load rate pisses me off so which whould a get a new processor ($200-$300) or 512mb ram ($80-$100) which will help me fullfill my dream?????

I really don't suggest you to buy a Prescott P4 (letter E means Prescott in the 3.0E part) because they heat SOOOOOOO much! The RAM looks great, though. If your budget allows it, get a Northwood (look for the letter C, e.g 3.0C).
