Well it is certainly worth upgrading to a new computer. I have had my Athlon 700 for over 1 1/2 years now and it is still more than adequate for all of my needs because software just isn't keeping up at the necessary pace (although Microsoft are trying damn hard. Their bloatyware department has had many sleepless nights on this one
). So you should be able to get something around the 1GHz mark cheap enough and will be fine for quite a while yet. I remember that my original P90 didn't have that kind of lifespan back in 95/96. It was pretty slow at everything released at the same age as my present computer is now...
