I've got this five year old Gateway computer that's getting to the point of running too slowly for what I need it to do. It's got Windows XP SP2, a Pentium 4 1.5GHz, and 1 GB of RAM. The motherboard can only support one processor upgrade (to a 2.0) which probably won't have that much affect for the money/work. It's got two hard drives in it. A 20GB one that holds all of my programs and an 80GB HD that holds all of the music and movies. Both are about 65% full.
So, I wanna buy a new computer, but I've got a lot of programs that I don't want to buy again or can't (the makers no longer exist) and want them to work on the new one. What's the best way to do all of that?
