I believe it is time to get a new PC as my current one just doesn't seem to

Here is what I have at the moment:
Dell Dimension 4600

2 GB Ram
GeForce 7600
Vista Ultimate
Hmmm... It sounds like you upgraded from Win XP to Vista, and now find that
your once great PC has developed the flu under Vista.
The specs you list should run Vista really well, however the biggest problem
when installing Vista on older hardware is drivers. If you haven't already done
so, I would try installing Vista with the latest Vista drivers for
your hardware.
I would also check the Dell support forums to see if other people with the same
PC as you are having the same problems.
There is a Vista service pack due out in "the second half of 2007", but you
could be waiting awhile before it's out.
Myself, I am sticking with Win XP Pro because:
1- My current computers run great under XP Pro
2- I don't want to get into the whole Vista driver problem right now
( with time all of the driver stuff should be sorted out )
3- I have no reason to use Vista, as none of my clients are using it,
and I think it will be a couple of years before they do.
4- The longer I wait, the better Vista should be, via service packs, etc...
