    Just to cut to the chase, I don't know a lot about computers so any advice will do. I'm an open book.

    Just needing to speed up my laptop. Any ideas?

    Besides updating my memory is there any other way to speed up my computer?

    Not really, unless you count installing another OS, win 7 may work, but depends on driver availability.

    Upgrade the RAM, defrag the HD ...

    If you don't mind learning something different, a good Linux distro should on perfectly fine on 256-512MB of RAM.
