I bumped it from the original 512MB RAM to 2GB (the max) years ago and it’s had it’s 60GB hard drive replaced with a more modern 500GB model.

It’s previously undergone a few upgrades. Whilst it handles 720p content without an issue, it’s now hit and miss whether 1080p H264 content will work without unacceptable jitter. Having now reached it’s 10th birthday, it’s started to show it’s age.
