I have a laptop with only 32M RAM, and it is S - L - O - W to browse
graphically. This is running X 4.2 and IceWM. Any graphical browser -
Galeon/Mozilla/Netscape - take forever to start, and are very slow, even
going page to page.

Definitely upgrade the RAM, if you plan on doing anything graphical.
