Out of the Blue

We've got the Smurfs coming over to stay for the weekend... should be an interesting mix trying to keep tabs on the boys along with the new puppy... of course a 9-week-old puppy is actually more mature than most four and six year-olds, but the pup and the Smurfs are all pretty solid citizens, so things should work out fine (I never realized how hard it is to type with my fingers crossed!).

Depends really. You actually probably should upgrade quite a bit if your going through with it. If I were you I'd grab a faster XP processor, they are rather inexpensive now and see how that does for performance. You'll also see performance jump if you get a new graphics card too. Don't even think about a 9600Pro, go with an nVidia 6600/6600 GT at that price point. It's the king of the mainstream market for a reason. Memory is always nice to have but I'd get a gig only after you upgrade the first 2. If you simply must have a 9600 get a 256 version with 8 pipes. I'd still go with a 6600 personally.
