I have a 2.0GHz computer, 1Gig of ram, 160 Gig HD, onboard sound, GeForce 6600 GT, an old motherboard that can't support more ram and no Nintendo Wii, about which I have heard good things. There is also an unused television.

Supposing I have $200 to upgrade (And a near-empty credit card), what should I buy?

With games and an extra controller or two, a Wii will run you quite a bit more than $200 (US). I'm not entirely sure what the MSRP in Canada is, but its $250 in US.

$280. And this is more of a 'Wish list/What's good list' than anything else. It'll be about three more weeks before I have the money, although my credit card is pretty empty.

A Wii is a sagacious investment. IF you can find one in stores. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Well...Since 100% of responces are in favour of buying a Wii, I guess that's next.
