A second hand 4850 can be had for about that much and would give a nice performance boost, then you could spend the change on an e5300 and clock the nuts off it. That is provided your mobo and cpu cooler are up to the task.

5750 beats the 4850, is newer tech, cooler, less power etc. plus a new card and warranty.

this guy has nailed it on the head, sell your E2140 for as much as you can, buy a 2nd hand 4850 and then an e5300 which can easily OC to around the 3.2ghz mark on air
