Make sure there is nothing eating up system resources (spoolsv.exe is particularly bad).Second, If you are going to get a newer machine, move the hard drives from the current one over (I'm not sure if you can actually get all the hard drives out). WHS should boot u; fine.Third, there are Add-ons that will allow you to backup and restore the actual backup database. I'm sure you could use this to move machines as a plan BFourth, tweet @wegotserved. Andrew Terry runs a dedicated WHS blog (www.wegotserved.com).

Core 2 should be the minimum CPU. No reason to lose your existing data though. A renstall of the WHS OS can be done safely without data loss, so I'd make a drive to drive copy from the current box and then a new WHS install. While you are at it you can move up to a 1TB boot drive and get a much bigger 'landing' area for the shared file system. Use something like Acronis. While you are at it move your workstation to Win 7. They play very nicely together. Build your own is definitely the way to go. Core 2 should be the minimum CPU.
