Would adding another 128MB of RAM make a lot of difference or is it more of the processor speed that is making this machine slow?
I would always choose more RAM first over more CPU MHz or disk RPM. Especially in a laptop the latter two will drain the battery faster. A faster CPU will also block faster on memory and disk bandwidth. More RAM will reduce paging to and from the disk so, if you can afford it, install the maximum the motherboard and OS will take.
