Paul, 3 years before replacing a PC seems right to me. >I recall reading on one of the SI sites that the Y2K computer purchases should getting at the end of their 2-4 life cycle. Is this correct from an engineering standpoint?<

I have a 2 year old desktop @ 400MHz, 4GB and 96MB DRAM. I'd like to upgrade to Windows XP by spring because I'd like a more stable OS, more storage and a little more speed.

I guess businesses will decide based on PC usage. If someone just runs a spread sheet they don't need an upgrade PC.
