I have had this computer about five years, is that considered an
old
computer now?

Most would say yes but it depends on what you use it for. I had
my HP Pavilion for 5 years and it worked just fine until the
digital paint progams I used required more RAM than it would
accept.
So I bought a super duper computer in 2003 but I planned ahead
because I did not want to keep updating my computer. I thought
1 gig of RAM would be enough. Foolish me. I now have 2 gigs
and soon plan on having 4.
I still used my HP for being on the Internet for another 2 years
because I had dial up at the time and didn't want to expose my
new machine to virus, etc. When wireless DSL came to my small
remote town, I stopped using the HP because it couldn't be
hooked up to my router.
I then gave it to my grandsons because with 1 gig of ram it will
play their educational games. As far as I know it's still going
strong and it's 9 years old now.
I don't plan on updating this computer for another 5 or 6 years
because I can paint, make animated movies on it and anything
else I want to do.
I paid a hefty price for this machine but I already figure I got
my money back on it and more during the 4 years it's been
running. To me, computers are like cars. You can either have a
Porsche or a pinto -- they both get you where you want to go if
they're in good running order.
