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

[kkcountry]

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!
