the only thing you can do is add more memory to it and put around a 20gig HDD in it. other than this, it won't get any faster. over clocking it won't work either.the memory in it is either the old simms 72pin memory or PC66. you can get the model of the board and do a google search for it. the past year i have been redoing PII and PIII's for internet machines with 98se on them.

It depends how much random access memory your base board can take. That is what you have to find out. You stated that you have 191 MB of RAM which is good but, if you can increase it to 512 MB or 1GB or higher and your computer is in good condition and all of your settings are in proper order then when you install a higher amount of RAM everything will load fast. Run a check at crucial.com. You'll definately find what you're looking for there.

Some CPU's are capable of more than what they are set at... but they create more heat. You would first have to see what your cpu and motherboard are capable of or rated at. Sometimes it is printed on them... and there will be "Switches" on the mother board for the different CPU's that it can accomodate. To change the CPU speed you simply change the switch on the mother board to the highest setting the CPU will support. Then turn it on and see if it even boots up. Be sure to remember what the original switch settings were, sometimes there are conflicts in doing this and if you can't solve them in the bios set-up you will have to revert back to where the manufacturer had it set to begin with. I would also recomend getting a bigger CPU fan if it does work... it will make the CPU run physically "hotter" and that could cause damage to it if it overheated. The "switches" I refered to will be two small pins sticking up off the board with a connector that slides over them. They are very small, the pins are about 1/8" apart. And there will be a row of 3-4 of them with the different clock speeds printed out beside the pins.

You'd be better off buying a new PC.

Get a new computer, you're pretty obsolete.
