I think I've got 256Mb laptop memory from my old Dell lying in a drawer somewhere. I'll have a look tonight, and If I find it, I'll post it over. Try it and see if it works..if not, sell it on ebay and give the money to charity :D

Ditch the Windows and put Linux on it. I'd go for Mint myself but Ububtu seems to be popular.
 
XP needs at least 512Mb RAM to run smoothly - if it doing everything that needs to be done then it'll be fine.

Things to help speed up the computer....

also ditch any custom picture that you're using as a desktop background and stop any unwanted progams running in the icon tray that you don't need.

i have a Toshiba Laptop, i wiped the hard drive, stuck 3 gig of ram in and its more than fast enough. £30 on ram and job done
 
Toshibas suffer from lint build up on the heat exchanger causing the processor to run hotter and therefore slower, get the hoover nozzle in the exhaust and give it a good clean, if you have access to compressed air (nothing to injurious!) give it a blow out also.
