I have a Dell PC with a Celeron 2.4 GHz processor with 256 MB RAM. Is there a hardware or software upgrade (or special add-on) I can do to make it perform close to a 2.4 GHZ REGULAR Pentium?

Note:
I know Celerons have less cache; can you upgrade the cache (maybe not) OR maybe I should just upgrade my RAM to 1 GB to get better performance. what's the advantage of having a true Pentium as opposed to a Celeron (does a true Pentium do better when multitasking?)

Thanks

My computer recognizes the drive, it tries to run the CD but it doesnt play it... After it spins the CD or DVD it says "No Disk In Drive". I've tried a bunch of differents CDs and DVDs and nothing works.

I know this might be a stupid question but the reason I'm asking is because I desperately need to download music and movies and burn them to a cd or dvd and I don't want to waste my money.

I recently had to do a complete system restore with the CD from the manufactor and seems I have lost all my pictures which unfortunately were not backed up on a CD. Anyone know of any possible way that I might be able to recover those pictures? Thanks.

I go to look for my "F" drive (my USB port) and it's not there. the computer makes the sound that a device is connected, but I don't see it.

In general, what are useful questions to ask so we cover our bases when moving our software from one server to another?
