How can i make my pc better?

What can I do to make my computer better for games and such?

Would 32bit-64bit make it faster? If I cant do that; would getting 4G help ?

Dell XPS 420

Windows Vista Home Premium (32bit)
Intel Core 2duo CPU E6850 @3.00GHz
NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT
3G Ram
283 Hard drive

What are you struggling with at the minute?
That's a pretty good computer and there's not really anything it wouldn't be able to handle IMO - it's only a little less than my computer, and this handles everything I throw at it with ease.
Also, you might struggle upgrading a Dell . . . sometimes they have proprietary parts, such as cases, motherboards and PSUs, to make it difficult to upgrade.

Is there anything I can do though just for a little more kick from it?

There's always something you can do.

Your upgrade possibilities, as I see them, with benefits/drawbacks:

SSD instead of HDD - much faster storage - but, very expensive if you want any sort of capacity.
Faster HDD - faster storage access - but, could be expensive, could also be loud.
Quad core CPU - faster for multiple tasks or multi threaded programs, the computer will possibly feel more responsive - but, could be expensive, cooling might not cope, motherboard might not support it, PSU might not be up to it.
Upgraded graphics card - faster 3D performance - but, could work out expensive to get a decent upgrade, cooling probably wouldn't cope, PSU probably wouldn't cope.
64 bit OS - 64 bit applications will run faster, OS may feel snappier, ability to access more RAM - but, some programs and hardware may be incompatible.
Upgrade RAM - computer may feel smoother - but, probably wouldn't notice any actual performance increase except on very demanding apps (e.g. working with massive images in Photoshop whilst encoding a video or something) and you'd need a 64 bit OS to use any more RAM.

Does that help?
