      Going from 1 to 3gb should wake it up quite a bit

          Well I'm transferring all his media to the external hard drive I bought him and it has 313 minutes still to go... Anything I can do or adjust to speed that up?

            Short of connecting both drives on the sata bus, no. Typically, windows is very generous on its time estimations though.

              Don't worry about what you can't change.
              Do the best you can with what you have.
              Be honest, even if it hurts.

                    ^ this should make most any older machine feel faster. That old platter drive might be also starting to have issues and that could cause performance delays and/or read/write issues

                      And at that point, he's %50+ in on buying a newer computer that would have been better spec'd from the beginning.

                      Everything in that computer is a bottleneck. The old sata (if it's even that, and not ide) technology, the old memory tech, the bus speed/chipset of the motherboard.

                      Why do people try to cling on to old hardware so dearly? Let it go. Upgrade. Stop being a junk hoarder.

                      Everything in that computer could be on the verge of going. WHy continue to spend money to operate on borrowed time, when you'll just have to buy a new one anyways?
