Pfff, what you really need is to dump Windows entirely...
My P4 2.4Ghz 512MB of RAM works just fine with Linux. I don't see the need to
do anything other than upgrade the RAM within the next 2 years.
RAM, RAM, RAM. Thats what most people need in their computer. My folks just
bought a Compaq with Vista that has a mind bending 512MB of RAM. For Christmas
I bought them 2GB which has made their slugly POS into a decent machine.
Of course the idiots in Redmond have continued to stick us with a 32bit OS
(Vista 64 is still a pleasant dream) so 3GB of RAM is the practical max.

Everything coming out now is Sata. It uses one cable per device so you
don't have to worry about Device ID's or Master/Slave configuration.
Even CD/DVD players and tape backups are going Sata. It used to cost a
premium, now it's the cheap one. Making a PC into a Tivo-like video
recorder is pretty straightforward. Getting them to do HD is right at
the limit of the current processing power. You don't need a quad-core,
but you do need a dual-core. But that's only because Windoze
(especially Vista) is a hog and needs one core just to keep track of
itself.
