Yeah, readyboost isn't so hot. Nice in theory, but the practical truth is that Flash drives aren't fast enough to offer substantial benefits.
A T7200 with 2 GB RAM ought to have plenty of bang as it is for most day-to-day tasks. You could add another 2 GB RAM, but depending on the config that could be pricey (2x2GB SoDIMMs are going for ~$100 right now).
Honestly, I think your best first step is to just start with a fresh windows install. You can also use nlite to remove some of the extra crap Windows normally installs. See how that does, then start considering upgrade paths.
