i only would upgrade if i would get a better performance, since my hardware is finally showing its age for what i do.

Right now ? because i want to play games (GTA3, GP4, NFS3 (yes bitch, i play nfs3 almost daily! hehe) NFSU2). and because its a shared computer with not so computer litterate people.
I have my other computer (a k6-2) and its running redhat for ages, great os.
