Make sure you have 64-bit (OS of choice), since 32-bit only supports 3.33gb ram IIRC. They also make PATA SSDs, they just cost an arm and a leg compared to SATA drives.

Thanks for the suggestions

Here's what I have so far:

Base laptop - $75

Intel 330 120 GB SSD - $105 (Link)
4 GB DDR3 1333 Mhz Ram - $20 (Link)
ATI Radeon 4250 HD + 128 MB Sideport memory - $0 (Link) (Keep in mind these benchmark are without the 128 MB from Sideport)
AMD Athlon II P320 Dual-Core 2.1 Ghz - $0 (Link)
12 Cell Battery - $75 (Link) (Not sure if website is legit, found on Google shopping)

Total: $275 Dollars ($200 On upgrades)

Seem good?

I would try and upgrade the CPU if at all possible but I don't think it would matter because my GFX card would bottleneck anyway.

A faster CPU might make a little difference. Just find out what socket it is and see if you can upgrade it. o_o I know very little about mobile AMD CPUs. Last AMD chip I had was a Turion64 II X2 @ 2.3GHz I think? o-O

Anyway, If you can upgrade, please try, a better CPU generally helps from day to day stuffs.

Just get a SSD, and upgrade the ram if possible, I am not sure if the cpu upgrade again if possible will provide a performance upgrade that is worth the time, and money even if you only got the laptop for $75
