How many ram do you have?
What kind of GFX card do you have?

Depends on how much you wanna spend but in general I would say:
4GB RAM, it's so cheap now might as well get it, and you'll end up using it all sooner or later.
4850 is a monster for $200
500GB SATA now costs $75 so I'd go for that, good price/storage ratio. |

I don't want to upgrade my processor because it has 2.8 gigs and I can't find 2 gig ram sticks. _________________

Perhaps a 2.8GHz processor? It's probably a NetBurst-architecture processor.
If your motherboard still uses regular DDR, then you should really upgrade the CPU and motherboard too. But for running the Orange Box, it shouldn't be much of a problem.
4GB of RAM should cost you $40-$80.
Motherboard specifications so that I know what interface should be used. The best you can get for AGP is the 3850, and for PCI-e, a good choice would be the 4850, although for playing the Orange Box, you wouldn't really use all that processing power.
There are very good deals (GB/dollar) for 500GB to 1TB drives. _________________
