The speed of your computer is dependant on a variety of things, processor speed, hard drive speed, amount of RAM, type of RAM, etc.
In general, laptops are extremely difficult to upgrade, especially older ones, as this sometimes required taking the entire laptop apart. Most newer models have a piece of plastic on the bottom that covers up a RAM expansion bay, which is very useful.
If your laptop has a 1.4 ghz processor and 128 mb of RAM, adding another 256 or even 512 mb of RAM would help dramatically

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
