[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 749722, member: 24098"] Kept clean, a Windows based PC can last just as long as a Mac. It's the Spyware/Adware/Malware crap that rots a Windows installation. My parents have a P3 866 Dell Dimension with 256MB of RAM and a 20GB hard drive. Every couple of years, I reimage it with a clean install of XP, with all their drivers and software that they use. When it starts to rot, I just wipe it and reimage. That machine was originally bought in early 2001 and does just fine for what they use it for (although I've been trying to convince them to buy an iMac). [/QUOTE]
