I haven't bought a new piece of computer hardware since 2003...
Why do I need a new video card?

Why do I need a 64-bit processor?

Why isn't my current system good enough?

I'd probably buy a new dual-CPU motherboard for my two Athlon 2GHz CPUs, but that's about it.

2. Don't use DIVX.
:(

But I've had no problems displaying the ones I made when trying to use my PC as a multimedia system (since then I just burn my VHS collection to DVDs)

But I did use the best quality settings; still had no problems.

4. Check that. Tonight I am buying a soundproof case.
My multimedia PC (and me) will be happier when quiet.
