I agree on buying a new one. Most likely the new OS will be $100.00+ alone.
You buy a new computer it will have Windows 7 installed, a hell of a lot faster and would be more power efficient. You might save a couple of $ on your electrical bill.
Quick comparison..
My old P4 windows machine idled at 70 watts.
I have a three year old Mac mini that has twice the power and idles at 24-27 watts.
Yes its a smaller computer.... but it has better performance than my old P4.
