I can understand not wanting to throw good money after bad.
One of my brothers was looking into another round of upgrades for his 2.4 GHz P4 laptop (2 GB 400 MHz RAM and a 128 MB IDE interface SSD for about $400). I think I convinced him that for what he does, he would be better off selling his current laptop for $100 and spending the $400 that would have gone to upgrades, and getting a 2.2 GHz Core 2 with 4 GB of RAM and a 300 GB hard drive on sale.
