Help me decide...

[ocularsinister]

My old PC is knackered. The hard disk is blitzed, there's only just enough memory to KPatience and the video card sucks so hard that KDE4 grinds to a halt. This later may be due to the rubbish drivers NVidia provide, but they no longer provide bug fixes or updates for that old card.

Sooo... VOTE!

Sooner or later fsck is not going to be able to repair my hard disk...

Too slow to run the latest KDE or Windows apps, and definitely not up to music stuff!
