Seriously, there are no problems. It's doing very well (like me) despite it's age, There are certain things you can do to speed things up a little though. Try overclocking the cpu (mildly in this case), and/or increasing your Ram capacity. It may well be prudent to think of a total change in machines. A second hand desk top if funds are tight perhaps? Cheers.
