Here are several things to think about, your system will most likely only see at the very most 2 gigs of ram, mine is old like yours, and 2 gigs is the limit. 2 gigs in an older slower machine might not make enough difference. My system does a serviceable job, but it never touches the inter net, has absolutely no AV or fire wall stuff, and is optimized to record.
