The fact that the world has all this amazing hardware, and this ten year old laptop works just fine makes me wonder what kind of racket IT professionals are pulling here. >>

Depends, to some extent on what your time is worth.
Suppose some new 6GB box costs $1,000, and that your time is worth $100/hr.
If that computer saves you 10 hours of time (compared to your existing one) over its service life, it's paid for itself.
If you want a 1 year payback, it would have to save you about 1.6 minutes/day.
