It's simple.

Sketch out an estimate of the time and aggravation the slow machine is costing you. Add in the capabilities that you would have at your disposal with the new machine that you haven't got now. This total is the opportunity cost of NOT buying the fast machine.

If the opportunity cost is significantly greater than the dollar cost of the new machine ... 'nuf said.

If the opportunity cost is about the same, then it's a tough decision.

If the opportunity cost is less ... 'nuf said.

One other thing -- I think it's important for a PC sector investor to have firsthand knowledge of the latest iron. That aspect alone justifies a yearly upgrade.
