Computer woes

I suppose I should have expected this having decided on a new computer. The old one seems to be on its very last legs. It won't open Firefox at all anymore and the IE that came with it is apparently old enough that there are several websites that it can't load. CAs far as I can tell I can't update IE without updating the OS which I can't do on this computer. Not enough RAM to run it...

I'm tempted to go somewhere else and hunt one down that I can use. Ah, the problem with ordering as opposed to buying one off the shelf. The benefits outweigh the pain in the asseness of it though.
