My old Dell W7x64 core 2 duo had become sluggish, probably because of stuff running in background (like transcoding and backup tasks). I was planning to buy a newer box but I had some hardware compatibility concerns. As a stop-gap, I added a second 4G of RAM and swapped the 500G HD for a new 450G SSD. I'm not sure exactly why but the machine is pretty speedy now so I'm keeping it until it starts going south. By the way, I keep big files on a NAS so the 450G SSD is plenty.
