There's always the question of is it worth being upgraded. I had an old Celeron based Gateway that I wanted to use in my workshop. I priced a new processor, more ram, bigger hard drive, and a legal compy of XP,and it came out to about $350. Instead I ended up buying an eMachines for about $300. I still hate to throw things away, though. I still have the Gateway, but I might donate it to the high school's Computer Service vo-tech class.
