Not Much You Can Do

Are you trying to speed up your processing of local applications or are you referring to speeding up your internet? If it's internet there is nothing you can do to speed it up when you have a 56K connection. The extra RAM is nice for speeding up your local system applications but will do nothing to speed up your internet. As for the defraging and disk cleanup, it is a waste of time with the amount of data on your harddrive. Think of your hardrive as a giant warehouse. In that warehouse you are just using a tiny amount of space. So no matter how many times you are stacking and restacking the boxes in that little space it will not matter. You are pretty much giving your computer busy work (useless work) to do by running those jobs. Are you able to get high-speed internet via satellite in your area? That may be an option.
