Great - thanks for all the responses! Unfortunately, I didn't see much
improvement. The laptop itself is a P4 2.8GHz with 768MB of RAM
(shared w. video - down to ~700). Picked up 2 1GB DIMMs... I'm sure
that will do the trick and then do not have to worry about breaking
the memory stick off in the USB port
