Monica,
Adding more RAM above 32Meg will not help you. Yes, you will
be able to do more things at the same time, but you won't gain
speed.
Adding a hard drive will give you more storage capacity and *might*
give you a *small* increase in how fast a program loads, but not in how
fast the programs operate.
If you want your PC to go faster, then you need a bigger motor.
I would move up to the fastest CPU that your MoBo can handle,
and hope that someone gives you a new hard drive for Christmas. <g>
