After backing up my main system, I took it outside, blew the dust out out then replaced the CPU and CPU fan/heatsink.
I removed the first gen i5 with 4 cores 4 threads to a Xeon with 4 cores 8 threads.
Then I upgraded to the latest Xubuntu.
Doing so I wiped the drive so I had a clean install... which wiped out my saved passwords. Ooops.
Took me a few minutes to find my Dreamwidth password and relog in.
The upgrade isn't really noticeable until you pile on the tabs and programs - then the experience is definitely smoother.
This also put off the need to upgrade my entire system for a little while longer.
