MOHAA lockup's

Just built a sub $100 machine with my old pc but new mobo, cpu & power supply. Board is PC Chips M830 (SiS735) w/ Athlon XP1600. I know PC Chips have been slammed hard, but it was cheap as hell, & some of 'em have to work. Problem is lockups in MOHAA. Stable doing anything(non-gaming)else. Temps are good to. My question is the old components. Hard drive is my old 9Gig WD ATA66 5400(?) and memory is 256 pc133. The mobo supports both DDR & PC133, I just have to wait to upgrade to the DDR. Is either of these bottlenecks likely to cause lockups? Which would provide the greater performance advantage? A new 7200 ATA100 or some DDR 2100 memory?

Thanks
