First, max that puppy on RAM. As much as you can throw at it. A trio of 256
sticks won't cost much, and will yield a nice 768 MB.

Bigger, faster hard drive. Definitely. The old 20s are loud, slow, and
small. Newer ones, aren't.

Last, if you feel like it, look at a new processor. 1.2? 1.4? Consensus,
anyone? 


Cheers,
