While I share your sentiment I'm honestly kind of impressed that you run 5-6 linux VMs on a Pentium 4/AMD64 generation system. Really? Those things didn't virtualization support on the CPU yet, did they? Also, Ram probably maxes out at around 4GB which is quite low for an updated winXP with so many instances. Does that really run smoothly? I recommend you get an i5, 16GB, 500GB SSD and then come back and tell me the upgrade wasn't worth it ;-).
