[QUOTE="iamtherealandy, post: 1289161, member: 213146"] Well... I've maxed out my 2003 Win XP box -- and it's just wrecked. I do a lot of video editing... just simple stuff... and it's completely bogged down. But the weirdest thing is if I open up iTunes on it with even one other application open... well... that's the end. It can literally take over two hours to sync one of my iPod Touches. For some reason my classics sync easily but the iPod Touches with iTunes make everything rotten. I know that even the basic Mac Mini would blow what I'm using out of the park. I get that. But as you can see, if I have held onto my piece of junk XP machine for this long, I want a machine that I can keep a long time breathe new life into after a while. I would love to be able to hit it with 4 or 6 extra gigs of ram in about four or five years and breathe new life into it. Or be able to bump it up to the 8 core from the Quad -- Would a move like that cost less than buying a brand new computer? [/QUOTE]
