It's a Celeron M 1.4Ghz, 256mb of ram, 40gb harddisk

Running Windows XP Home

Problem is, it's SO slow....

He's to cheap to buy any ram for it and i've turned off all unnecessary effects/visuals to speed it up, but it hasn't had much of an effect

What would you do?

Do you think it's worth formatting it and sticking on an older operating system? Like Windows 98SE or perhaps Windows 2000 professional?
