    RAM obviously. Multiple tasking is the key!!! My system has good CPU, enough HDD space and good RAM also but still I will say MORE FOR RAM.... :)

    It really does depend on your system. Newer processors, RAM and hard drives may not be compatible with your motherboard, so you could be really limited. It most cases, RAM is probably better for you, but if do a lot of processor intensive work, that's obviously the better way to go.

    My vote is for "HDD".I am always not satisfied with my hard drive capacity.I'm annoyed everytime when it shows "Low Disk Space".So I had to upgrade my hdd.

    i'd probably go for extra space "HDD" to store more data.

    I would suggest RAM as it is the most important part of PC for making it fast, CPU speed is more than enough for most applications and games unless you are running softwares like photoshop or MAYA which uses CPU intensively for processing and only upgrade HDD if you got lots of stuff to store up.

    My RAM is only 512MB which causes my computer is slowly.
    If I upgrade to 1GB or 2GB, my computer will work very fast.
    I have high and strict demands to the speed to my computers.

    P.S. RAMdrive Plus (requires 1GB at least) makes your computer work very fast, especially sufering on the internet.

    Depending on your current system, if you already have quad core than go for the other two, if you already have 4gb ram go the other two, if you running out space or your harddisk is kind of old purchase new one before it go haywire :)

    I don't think you can break a CPU in half and expect it to work!! :D

    Depends on your current specs. I would buy the memory, since the chips I have now is running at an outdated 333MHz, which is kind of... slow. I already have a good HDD and CPU :)
