Lizzie, I arrived at the same conclusion as you when I looked to upgrade my 3 year old Pentium II. I ended up buying a new Dell 4550 for $1056, which included a 15 inch flat screen and a 3 year on-site warranty (no sales tax or shipping either). The annual cost difference is peanuts, especially when you spend as much time on the net as we do and now you have a new warranty.

Decision sort of reminds me of an ex-neighbor who was quizzing me about spending an additional $150 or so to really upgrade a new mattress purchase. Since we spend 1/3 of our life in bed, I think I would choose to spend the extra $150.
