You will need some more RAM and a graphics card. If you have some more money maybe CPU?
I'm not great with hardware so can't recommend which ones to get.

I could probably get RAM, but the CPU and GFX card will have to come later.
I'm really trying to get enough decent things in this hunk o junk to run at least HL2 or neotokyo, at least on low/lowest. I WANT to run HL2 for G-mod/deatmatch and if I'm lucky enough even Neotokyo I can get around 200 in the next week or two, I need to get a decent job soon.

Because I was thinking if you have enough you could do this:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=366177 I'm going for the Canadian build. Have about half the money so far. Might change some parts to even better. Anyways, RAM is a good choice.

Not much. I think saving will be much better. Your computer is pretty old, so parts will be expensive and rare. Upgrading your ram to 2GB will cost at least $50. Video card is probably AGP, which is basically abandoned if you don't know, so a card with last gen's tech will be at least $100 if it was a gamer's card. Your CPU can't be upgraded unless it's a LGA 775 socket, which I doubt.
