What's the processor and make/model of her laptop? There are other factors involved in determining speed.

I'd check out the max RAM specs and see how much more you can add. You can also try getting a faster HD, but after all the upgrades, you could've just bought a newer and more up to date laptop.

I believe it came in a 1Ghz version, but like Helmie said, I think 512mb is it's max also. I've checked the Kingston memory configurator and it tells me the same.
