1 gig memory

80gigs hdd
dvd-rom

I installed Win XP pro sp3 on it and I want you to share some tricks with me to give it a free boost. I installed Google Chrome I suppose it could help but other than that?

Also is it possible to take a 478 pentium4 and transplant it there even if its a pentium M 478 but with the same die size?
Thx for helping me out
Placing a desktop CPU in a laptop is a bad idea because the cooling (and also the power circuitry) is likely inadequate, even if the CPU would work in there compatibility-wise (which is not very likely in the first place).

As for "accelerating" that thing. Probably the best thing you can do is use a lightweight Linux distribution on it, instead of windows (or maybe run windows 2000).
