Pretty much what it says, at the moment my fps seemns to average at about 16-20, I'd like to up that somewhat. Currently I'm runnning:
P4 2.53Ghz
512Mb DDR R.A.M
GeForce 4 MX 440SE 64 Mb DDR
Which of these would be best to upgrade to get the biggest performance jump?

The graphics card. Absolutely.

Nvidia...also what res do you run, and detail? Refresh rate won't boost it unless hes maxing at 60 or 75.

Why wouldn't it be? You can try enabling direct memory access on your hard disk drive for better performance. Access the device manager by right clicking my computer, properties, device manager, hard disk drive, settings tab and check if the box beside DMA is ticked. If not, tick and restart. If it's still ticked when you recheck, your hard disk supports it.

It allows the hard drive to access memory directly and thus speeds up your computer.
No DMA:

DMA:

You could try to look for vertical sync somewhere in all your nVidia card settings and turn it off.

hhmm, weaird, its a 533 fsb core, u should be getting around 30 fps in a 50 player and in small games definitly 60, ore higher depends on refreshrate.
anyway 2 things wich would do good..
Check ure mobo, if its a 845PE chip. then u could buy a 3,06 Ghz with hyperthreading its a major boost. in programs aswell.
but the major bottlneck is ure graphics card, since its just a geforce 2 ti actualy. Like some mentioned get a NVidia ti 4200, ore any of ti series. if u dont have much $$ else go for a radeon 9600  .
And install a new windows xp, i still think its slow cuz to much dirt files ore register such fps for such a machine...

Terminator, you could always try using something like riva tuner to clock your card up a bit. What card do you have?
Remember the basic stuff like not syncing every frame, keeping the core graphics settings on low, low game resolution, medium settings etc. If surface effects are set to 2, this can impact your game. I found mine performed better at the middle.
Remember, the auto config for detail settings isn't always right. Why? It doesn't take into account the other features of your CPU, just your graphics card max power. Mine tries to set everything at max including multi-texture lightmapping and trilinear filtering. But at that, I get lower performance. I Can tell you right now a radeon 9200 SE won't perform well on max settings in something above a 10 player game. Best set everything to the second highest and change to vertex and bilinear filtering.

Just a question, but what Resolution are running at?
I have
AthlonXP+ 1800
384 333mhz DDR
Geforce 4 MX 420/64mb
and I hardly ever get down to twenty unless there is lots of stuff going on. From the sound of it, you're running at 1600x1200. Bump it down to 1024x768 and your FPS will skyrocket.
There was a time when people were impressed that I have the firepower to decimate a planet in under 10 minutes.
