Paging computeristi

I've got a Duron 1.3 with 768 megs of RAM. It's got plenty of hard drivage and that, but it's a bit slow. I've the opportunity to get hold a Pentium 4 base unit (around 1.8GHz, 512mb of RAM, around £50, Dell). Now, is that going to be a worthwhile increase in speed, and is it worth the cash? The PC mainly gets hammered by opening up loads of pages in Firefox whilst typing essays and by the occasional bit of photoshoppage. Games are pretty much restricted to A-10 Cuba, so I doubt that's a major influence...

Go to crucial.com select either the pc or the motherboard if you know it. They will tell you the best memory.

That hit me last week. CPU temps rocketting and locking the PC at 74-80c dependant on load. Cleaned the HSF and now loaded at 46c
