upgrade desktop or buy new?

1.60GHz Pentium Dual Core Processor
It includes 1GB ram
Its capacity 80Gb
It has 16x DVD-ROM
Windows XP Home

My family's computer is piss slow. It wouldn't open a word document just now. Above are the specs as far as my searching could find. It just needs to be able to do regular web surfing and word processing and itunes of course. The problem is my dad is hard-pressed on opening every email he gets, and downloads every attachment. Therefore, I have two antiviruses running. Even without them. it stinks how slow it is. My question is this, should I just reinstall Windows (probably 7) and get more memory, or just suck it up and get a new computer?

Thanks guys.
