iPhone havers / users / lovers - question about backup/synching

I love my iPhone, but I am having ISSUES. Running a backup/sync takes more than a day. It's absolutely maddening. The computer I've been using as my sync computer is my old desktop. So, thinking that its age and lack of memory was likely the problem, last night I upgraded from 512mb RAM to 2gb. I should have done it a long time ago, but I hadn't really been motivated before now, as I don't use my home desktop much anymore. But I didn't want my netbook tied down for syncing every time, and my laptop is even older than my desktop and tends to be ... surly. ;)

SO, I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas. I have an iPhone 3G 8GB, and my computer is running Windows XP sp3. I am reaching the point of true frustration here. I bought the phone at the beginning of this year and have only run the sync a handful of times because it takes so very long. I'd like to switch to using my netbook if I knew it would speed things up, but I just don't know if it will.

This particular time, the backup seems to have frozen, so I finally gave up and clicked the little "x" to end it and let the sync progress. But I would really like to run a full backup at some point so that if I did switch base computers, I'd have a backup point to return to if necessary.

Any help you guys could offer would be just swell. :D
