Rick,
Were this my machine and I was going to keep it, I would find some cheap RAM and install it. Then put a new 60-80 gig 7200 rpm hard drive in it as the "C" drive and install a new fresh OS on it. This way he could keep all the old data on the old drive, which just became "D."
This could be done for under $100-150 and keep it going for another year IMHO but its just a matter of time for a 5-6 year old computer.
