smokin upgrade or not

About 2 years ago I put together a computer consisting of:
motherboard....MSI ms 7093(ver 1.x)..RS480 M2 series
Graphic card.....Radeon X700 pro
Memory...........DDR400(3200) 2X1 gbs
Hard drive........250gb..seagate
These being the main installments, Im wanting to know if I upgrade any of the above components, to ready myself for the upcoming of Vista.
And do I look at dual core. Thanks in advance spiderweb

Depending on what you have for a CPU now, a CPU upgrade is one thought.
If in to gaming, a video card would be a great up grade.

Your motherboard supports dual cores, but finding dual core 939's is getting rough over here - don't know about where you are. Vista should run fine on a X700 - and on that 3200+. If you are a gamer, I'd wait till DX10 cards are out before upgrading the video.
