Default Re: pops just bought an old ass laptop, i want to help

[ QUOTE ]
my dad just bought an ~750mhz laptop with 256mb of ram and is running windows 2000 on it.

we already looked into getting some more ram, but it's discontinued and hella expensive.

he bought it basically for web browsing, so what can he/we download/change/remove to make just simple web browsing as fast as possible?

thanks!

wow, exact same specs as my laptop [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] you'll have a hard time upgrading the ram (max is probably 512 anyway, so no point). Anyway, like others have said you can disable all nonessential services, but the most important part is to not install needless crud. ie don't install multiple IM clients and other crud you don't need.
