If you upgrade, normally it is most cost effective to upgrade your mobo and processor, rather than just processor. This is not set in stone however, especially if you can find a fantastic processor upgrade that will fit for dirt cheap.

RAM go for 4 gigs, especially on a gaming rig.

Some new games require Direct X 10, which is only available on Vista and Windows 7, as I understand it, so upgrading that might be your best long term solution.
