Well, I'd recommend Windows XP (Home or Pro, either or) over Vista. If you plan on buying, I know Dell still offers XP as an option. You can get a basic (but by no means obsolete) system for $500-$700 through the major manufacturers. Newer basic models will far outperform your system as it is now as far as MP3 capabilities, expansions, and the like.
If you want to try your hand at building your own (which is actually quite easy), expect to pay around $400-$600 for a basic system (again, far from obsolete). Feel free to PM me for advice for either way (pre-built or self-built) if you have any questions.
