Development Machine

My development machine is SO SLOW. It's a Dell Latitude 640; about four years old. It does everything I want it to, it's just painfully slow. Here's what I'm typically running when I'm in development mode:

Servant Salamander
Firefox - Yahoo Mail, PHP API, Localhost (my application), Mantis Bug Tracker
Eclipse
XAMPP
Mozy Backup
Microsoft Word (sometimes)
Windows Media Player (if the computer is being friendly)

This is enough to bring my computer to a crawl. I haven't timed out on localhost yet but I think I've come close. I want new hardware!
