Depends what you're doing, but for pretty much everything that's got a few years in it yet.

What do you use this system for, I would say you still have plenty of life in your system

I would say upgrade to windows 7.

W7 and go quad and you'll be set for at least 2 years.

Help, the Halloween zombies have possessed stulid. There is no way that the real stulid would have suggested a £3k rig without fully spec'ing it himself.
