Is that 350 mhz for your processor speed?  Anyway, it sounds like its
your page file that is giving you trouble.  How full is your hard drive?
 if its over 75% I would suggest that you "remove the fat" as it were
from your hard drive if that is the case.  you might also increase your
page file.  the default is your memory x 1.5.  you might consider
bringing it up to x2 or 2.5.  You might also consider increasing your
memory to 512mb.  I would do a cost analysis first to see if it would be
worth the cost to upgrade.  you might find it more cost effective to get
a new laptop after the upgrades are performed.
