Mac, if you live in the UK, really want to stay on a budget and know how to identify the RAM chips (what type/format) then let me know about the configuration as I migh know someone who has a 32Mg SIMM (guess it's one (or two) of these) on his spare parts "bin". Also, you've probably done this but if you haven't then I suggest that you remove any background image, system sound, background virus scanner/firewall. Use standard mouse drivers/cursors, switch off power managment and make sure the machine isn't set up for multiple users. If you have much of this running then that's probably all your physical RAM gone and half your virtual memory, is your HDD light going crazy all the time? Hope these little trick work. Worth a try.
It's not the destination but the journey that counts.
