Happily chugging along on dual 1.2ghz athlon chips, smokes any P4 you got. My old dual 450 system was just as fast "feeling" 2.4ghz system at work.
Anyway, no need ot buy a new computer necessarily - if you aren't doing high end games or video editing, you can probably get by wiht a RAM upgrade and a good reformat/reinstall of windows and applications. Yes, a clean install of Windows is MUCH faster than one that has been used for a few months.
Oh, and don't get a Mac. If you want to limit your software choices, etc. then just use a PC with Linux (I do). At least you won't pay a massive premium for the hardware.
