I see no reason you could not get another 2 years out of your billy goat. I still have my emachine 550 my girls play games on. Same rig I played SH4 on without issue. Works just fine and will for a few more years. I think I got it in 2003. The machine does not have quite the power your machine does. All the same, very lively and worth keeping until it absolutely does not play a darn thing.
