Re: 6 years old? Don't just replace the HD - build a new one, if you have the cash.

With a machine that old you'll be getting awful performance anyway and other components will start to go too. YOu'll be continuously replacing stuff.
Not to mention that parts for older equipment are becoming hard to locate as they're no longer made. Heck, the selection of memory that's compatible with what I already have is already next to nothing - and I built it only a year ago.
My computer died last night

My sympathies. 6 years is a good life though. You should be proud! *NM*

If you're trying to conserve money, don't bother with the SSD.

If you're impatient, you'll notice the impact of the extra ram a lot more than the ssd. *NM*

Bullshit, the SSD will make more of a difference than the extra memory

...not until you hit the reported astronomically high failure rate for SSDs, at least.

SSDs have a high failure rate when they are new or you try out new firmware

A power surge is likely to corrupt your RAM as well, and possibly motherboard components. *NM*
