Well, I should also add that I'm only planning to keep this junker for the
next year or two until I finish grad school, so, given all the other
considerations, I'm not too eager to spend much money upgrading it.

Yeah, I agree that a RAM upgrade would probably be helpful, but
unfortunately, a RAM upgrade it probably not a very likely option. It's a
laptop, meaning the RAM is harder to find and more expensive (SDRAM SODIMMs),
and it's a Dell, which means it's a bit finicky about RAM. But the main
issue is that both the RAM slots are full, making the cost/benefit of adding
RAM worse. And, being a graduate student, I'm poor.
Probably more info than you wanted. :-)
