   In what respects "too slow"?  What do you do with it?  What are the specs   
   on the old machine--age, motherboard, cpu & speed, amount of RAM, size &   
   speed of hard drive(s), etc.   
      
   Sometimes, new life can be breathed into an old machine just by a good   
   spring cleaning and/or minimal hardware upgrades.  Also, a reinstall of   
   the OS could help, too.
