I'm running Windows 7 32-bit and this install of the portable version is a big FAIL! I cannot get it to load any fonts that are sitting on my E drive.

Then maybe it is a problem with the portable version. I am running the installed version from their sourceforge:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/font...e-executables/
on Windows 7 - 64-bit. No problems.
There is also this site I stumbled across, which has newer Windows builds (although I have not installed/tested these):
http://fontforgebuilds.sourceforge.net/

Yep, probably time for an upgrade! You should probably build your own, it is a GLORIOUS time to build PCs. I have been running this beast for ~6 years now, and am tempted to finally upgrade. Don't know if I want to hold off for another year or two for the next generations of Intel CPUs.
The upgrade to an SSD though is just going to blow you away! Especially if you have been running on some ancient 12 year old XP computer. It is probably running like a snail!
Here is a site showing off some basic builds. It is mostly geared towards gamers, but it can give you some ideas of parts at all different price ranges (~$275-$3000+):

There is also this helpful subreddit where there is TONS of info on how to build your own, put parts together, etc. etc.:

I typically just aim for the $800-$1000 range, although I just built a new family PC for $600, and the thing DEMOLISHES my computer! (I spent about $1000 on mine ~6 years ago).
