Help upgrading a computer for MKVs!

Hey all,

I'm doing something for my friend's birthday two weeks from now and got her an old eMachines computer from a friend of mine so that she can:

1) Actually own a computer for web browsing/work. Parents were too cheap to shove out for a computer when she got to college =P
2) Be able to watch anime (that's all she does on my computer when she comes over to visit)

But anyways, her new obsession is Tales of the Abyss and I'm trying out the gg subs (with CCCP + MPC) but the video is extremely choppy and lags behind the sound (don't say wait for other subs - she's already used to gg's subs and she hates how all the other subs are three eps behind). I know it's a crap computer, so I just have one question - which would make the video run at a decent speed (or at least make the biggest impact)? Upgrading the processor or the video card? I would do both, but I don't exactly have the money right now.

Or if anyone has any ways software-wise to make it run, feel free to post.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

BTW, here are the specs:
Processor: Intel Celeron 2.66 GHz
RAM: 1GB <--- Can't upgrade RAM since that's the most it can support.
Video Card: ATI Radeon 9250 128MB
