Hah your old PC sounds a LOT like mine. I upgraded substantially, like 6GB of ram and quad core substantially.
I swear the first thing I did was download steam, see Crysis on sale, and bought it within half an hour of starting up my new PC.

Upgrading feels so nice, especially when it's a pretty big jump.

I know the feeling... I received my new 1 TB HDD today, order yesterday. I love the huge amount of space I've got now, compared to my old 195 GB HDD.
It's also faster.

I wanna take advantage of our new 200GB bandwidth!

I remember when I switched to my buggy Toshiba Satellite with 1Gb of RAM, 50Gb HDD, no wireless, 30 minutes battery and windows XP. Also, it had a crappy CPU(pentium I think) that ran at 1Ghz or maybe less. Then I got a Toshiba Qosmio for 1500$. 4Gb of RAM, Windows Vista, NVidia GeForce 9700M 512Mb GDDR3, Core 2 Duo at 2Ghz and dual HDD ports, one of which was used by a 320Gb HDD. I then added a 500Gb one. That was one heck of a jump, in both power and size xD. The thing weights over six pounds and is a good two inches thick. Can't really get that on my lap...

Mine is a 2000 MHz Dual-Core with 2GB of RAM and 64-bit Vista, and I still dislike it. I'm hoping to get a desktop pretty soon.

Maybe get Windows 7?
Vista is great but Windows 7 makes it so much better.
