    Would there be a noticable performance increase in upgrading from 512MB of RAM to 2GB? If it makes any difference, the processor is a T2300 1.6 MHz.

    Also, is it possible to slightly overclock the CPU. If so, how do I do it.

    Thanks for any help.

    You'll probably see a small performance boost going from 512MB to 2GB no matter what you're doing with the machine. Especially if you're using Vista, 2GB is a pretty good idea.

    You can probably OC your CPU here, but you'll need to know your PLL and find some sort of SetFSB type program that supports it. Do a search.
