Of course if you are talking about video conferencing, multimedia, programming etc then you need a new PC. Alternatively , try googling on "how to make your computer faster". There are some nifty tricks that can "rejuvenate" an old & ailing PC.
update on the above, open spreadsheet only blank one, takes me abt 1 mins. save still ok. check office emails (using lotus very old version think 96 or something). can hang sometimes and i can make myself a coffee.
regarding changing anythings that cost $$$, think u want the boss to kill himself?
he might say u might as well kill me

hahahahaa.
anyway it's not his PC that is lagging

so bo chup.
