  These days, most of the options that were once controlled by jumpers on 
the motherboard are now settings in the CMOS config.

  While you may manage a little speedup in tweaking the memory timings, 
256MB sounds definitely on the small side for XP.  How fast is your hard 
drive?  If you can't increase the RAM, speeding virtual memory functions may 
be your best alternative.
