If a browser is using 700M for mundane tasks, there's something wrong.

I am IT, and do occasional sales recommendations/analysis. I think the original issue here was that no, a 7+ year old PC is not going to handle things as well as a new one. Its always amazing how people will fight, battle and cling to their ancient computers, but when they finally give in and upgrade, the response is virtually always very positive. The cost of a computer is minuscule compared to what most people spend on much less important things. A $400 PC averaged out over 5+ years is not even $7 a month. Thats about the same as what people pay for insurance on their PHONE....which probably cost more than their computer!
