My parents had an HP for their last computer, and it kept going strong for about 7 years, and then it just stopped. My current computer is an eMachines, except since I've had it (5 years), I've replaced the hard drive, the power supply, the monitor, the keyboard, the mouse, and the speakers. It's hardly the computer I started with.
About the processor speed on the HP you linked: My current computer has a 2.5 GHz processor. Is going down to a 2.0 GHz going to be a big step down? This one is pretty sluggish, but I'm not sure if it's because it's old or because I've got so much stuff loaded on it.
