UAC "shmooac" its going to take education to solve security risks and not software/hardware controls. People are gullible and thats the problem.

As far as old hardware, i say let it die. Modern PC's are much more power efficient in many ways than the beasts of yesteryear.

Spend the money on a 4850BE cpu, and 780g motherboard, a decent power supply and a 2.5 IDE disk (7200 rpm of course) and you have yourself a sub 300.00 PC that can play games, movies, surf the web and consume less power than trying to support a beast of a P3 or old P4 machine grinding away.
