    You could just use the money to save up for Windows 7 when it comes out.

    Well, there is some truth in it - but that's not the whole story - and Windows 7 will work on computers that don't run Vista well.

    But back on topic:
    Someone once asked the same question with a similar or slightly larger amount.

    The best answer someone gave is - save if for later - basically, don't buy just to buy.
    And obviously you aren't sure what to buy - in this case, save it fo later.

    It'll get you more in the long run than spending it now.

    save up another 50 $ and get new ATI's HD 4770 if you have a desktop computer with weak graphics...this thing is meant to be so cheap - yea - 100 $ and is supposed to be as powerful as NVidias 9800 series GPU's !

    or

    if you had games in mind - simply put - CoD 4 or CoD 5 if you dont have any of those yet or C&C Tiberium Wars with Kane's Wrath expansion
