My old computer is on its last leg for me but I would like to give it to my parents so they would atleast have something. I need to speed it up a little bit so would 512mb more ram help? Current specs are 2.53mhz single core ATI 9550 and 512mb of ram. It runs well but tends to slow down when multi-tasking any advice would help.

Yes some more ram would help greatly. I suggest since it's a single core with fairly low speed I'd put 2 gig in just to over haul and make it as fast as you can get it without a total overhaul. But 512 more would speed it quite a bit too!
