But this is Java, it requires more horsepower than "other platforms".

You can get a new computer for less than $500 nowadays.  Compared to
the time you will spend waiting for Eclipse to startup, and then more
time waiting for your emulator to start up, it'd be a good investment
in my opinion.  You _will_ have to restart things on occasion, Eclipse
and ddms and the emulator all get out of sync with each other
sometimes.

The way it works at my house is when the system becomes too old to run
windoze, I install Linux on it to squeeze another couple of years out
of it.  You might try that since Android development is no more
painful on Linux than anything else.
