If you want to save it for another year, save the info you need off of it, format and reload XP. That will get you going again until December.
Then pore over the holiday sales and get a newer machine. Should cost around $4-500 and be light years ahead of what you are using now.
Once you get a second computer, network the two together (after formatting the old one) and use the 2000 model as storage and backup. Covers your rear in case the newer one dies and you still have your data stored.
