Why not just add some more ram if yours is working okay. You should be able to add at least one more bank of 512mb.

Its just not worth it anymore. Its 9 years old and everything is slowing down. It wasn't born in the era of HD so it doesn't do it well. I just want an upgrade. This box wasn't base but not the top of the line back then either.
It uses PC2700 RAM which is like $40-50 for a stick, I might as well buy a loaded desktop for $400 then. So I guess the Dual Core and Quad Core is old technology now giving way to the i3 i5 i7 ? Is that a correct statement?
If that is the case what if I went for
i5
4GB Ram
Dedicated Graphics
Integrated Sound
