If you have the Dell Model number we can help you out with selecting the proper memory.
Agree about memory but lots of the older laptops do not take a lot of memory. One of my older units will accept only 256.

If you want it to go faster, update the OS, max out the memory and get a 5400 min hard drive. A 7200 rpm drive will help more but they still cost a bit...
