It's been years since I upgraded my current computer.
At this point, I am not even sure what's in it anymore.
An Athlon 64 X2 4400, 2Gigs memory, a parallel 250Gig HD, and some cheap graphicscard.
I don't game with it, nor do I plan to with any new machine.
This is used strictly for web-browsing, music, watching movies (I am covered on good monitors), doing engineering calcs, some programming, and office type work.
Should I upgrade or just buy a new machine? I've been pricing some complete desktops at Newegg and it seems I can get significantly better machines than what I have for $300-$400. I really don't want to spend more than that.
I run XP now but am open to Seven.
Any advice would be appreciated.
