Upgrade?
I'm thinking Christmas might be the time to upgrade my son's computer. It's my old machine, and that dates it. We've upgraded it with IBM Memory, and added a 3D graphics card, but I had to the face reality that it's slow. Last week he needed me to fix something for him, and I couldn't believe how long that thing took. Of course he downloads stuff and probably clogs it up, and some of those WOW patches are massive. Anyway, when it's not the computer you work on day to day, you don't notice it. When I had to work on it, I was getting impatient! That made me realize, time to upgrade him. In the days before all those big space games, and mega graphics, it didn't stand out as glaringly obvious as it does now. The holidays may be the perfect excuse to upgrade.

Three years, the survival rate of an average computer especially if it's used for gaming :).
Although if WOW is all he plays it's quite fortunate that that game is not too much of a resource hogger, hehe. There's probably no longer any system available which wouldn't be able to run that smoothly :).

I have a computer of unknown make and model and i notice that it's like running a horse and buggy on the freeway lately! I tried one of the "fixes" for it, and lost half of everything I had in it!!! Todd

Computers are so cheap today, you should get another desktop. It's amazing what you can get for under $500.

I keep thinking that, but we end up traveling instead with the extra money
