My 1 GHz TiBook's 60 GB drive was getting full, so I just upgraded the drive
to an 80 GB one running at 5400 RPM instead of 4200 RPM. It's made a
noticeable difference! And I picked up a case for the old drive, giving 60
gigs of external storage/backup.

The drive is by Hitachi/IBM Travelstar and cost $249.99 from Other World

I'm still running with 512 MB of RAM, but upgrading the RAM to 1 GB would
help; I recall doing that with my last TiBook.

It's perfectly safe and easy to do these two upgrades yourself.
