buying a new computer (need advice)

ok, its almost been 3 years and i can't put it off anymore. its a pain in the ass to transfer everything but this thing loads all the time and just doesn't cut it anymore.

so here are my questions:
i run windows 2000 right now, its been very good to me. much better than 98 was. should i stick with 2000 or go for the XP when i get this new computer?

the computer have now is AMD. its been good to me, should i keep the AMD or do pentiums have something over them?

i only have 40 gig hard drive, i want a lot more space but the larger the drive is there a bigger chance that it will crash sometime in the future?

what is a good hard drive brand? i alwahys hear of ppls drives crashing and that is one thing i really want to avoid.

is plextor still one of the best for cd-r drives? my old one has lasted me 5 years and is still going strong.

does IBM make quality computers? i was thinkiing of maybe just ordering one of those.

anything else i should look out for when buying a computer?

thanks
