Yeah mine is pretty antiquated. It's had a few upgrades in its time but 
it's reached the limits now; I can't find non-ECC DDR2 RAM that'll give 
me more than 4GB total so the RAM isn't upgradeable; I doubt it would 
support an SSD even if they were affordable; and my external HD died 
recently so I'm limited in storage space!
