I am using an Athlon 900mhz pc with 1gb of ram and an ati 9800 videocard.. Running xp pro. It runs smooth and quick for everything i do. Browsing, listen to music, watch divx movies and burning dvd's, play some online flash games and thats about it. I have upgrade everything except the cpu. When my friends come over, they see a nice 23" monitor with a nice sound system and wireless keybarod and mouse, they think i've got a awesome system until they check the specs haha.

I love tech, i have all the lastest like iphone, ps3 for my gaming needs, stuff like that, do i need a better pc?

I have used this computer for like 6 or 7 years now and computers are so cheap these days, should i buy a new computer? or should i just spend the money on some other stuff. Discuss? do anyone here also own older systems and don't mind not having a new one. Sometimes I wish my pc would die on me to give me an excuse to buy a new one, but it never dies and i leave it on day and night. The only thing i replace was powersupply.
