TIA Verne.......................ummmmmm, Dave, this is where
you say something.
It's a ***e between the GFC card and the CPU there - but I think for
like, 50 - you could have an Athlon 1700+ - which would offer more than
double the processor performance.
The GFX engine in the F12kx series isnt very efficient - thus I think the
pressure could well be on the CPU to help polygon-push - than the GFX card
for fill-rates
If you can really stretch to it - then a Geforce 4 Ti4200 is around 100 -
and looking at http://www.racesimcentral.net/
( Superb resource imho ) - then from a GF2 ultra to a GF4 Ti4200 - you'd be
looking at around a 50% graphics power improvement.
I'd go with the CPU first though.

Just for an example my buddy has a GF2 Ultra with a P4 2.4 CPU and it smokes
my GF3 with a AMD XP1800.

And is that a GeForce 2 Ultra? if it is the biggest bottleneck in your
system will be the cpu, even if you can't get an Athlon XP Duron 1.3Ghzs are
'very' cheap. But if it's a Geforce 1 I'd recommend getting a GF4 ti4200
plus a 1.3Ghz Duron.
