I haven't felt the need for more power since, although the PC is getting a bit long in the tooth…

Probably you just put an SSD in it and it’ll scream like a rocket again, though, right?  I mean, its phenomenal what an SSD can do to ‘slightly older hardware’, where possible.  I have a quad-core AMD 9550 system as my main Linux DAW, and putting an SSD in it is like a whole new plate of butter.
