If you didn't feel much of a difference going from 500mb to 1.5gb then I suspect adding a little RAM more won't satisfy you. If you still have the original hard drive then a new large hard drive should make it feel a little faster. Otherwise nothings going to make it feel hugely faster. If the budget allows, on craigs list at least in my area dual 2.0 & 2.3 ghz G5s are available all the time at the $300 range. You might be able to score one with a vastly better video card, more RAM and a bigger HD.
