Get a new system?... It ain't gonna happen around here.
Maybe someone will sell you a used Dell Mini 9 that you could take in to use and try to embarrass them into a better machine. It should be at least 50% faster if it had 1 GB of RAM and a 32 GB HD.
They can buy a nearly complete barebones Atom based system for about $110 and get the same kind of upgrade as a Mini 9. A side benefit is it would pay for 1/3 of it's cost in the first year in just reduced energy use.
