My mac is showing its age.

Is there anything I can do to speed it up.

I have 640 Meg RAM already.

I assume there is no way to speed up the CPU/Graphics card?

What about the Hard disk?

Cheers.

I would also be interested in upgrading my iMac 800 17"... I think a faster hard drive might really make my machine pep up.

Does anyone know if replacing the hard drive would really improve my OS X experience? And how difficult is it to take apart an iMac and replace its HD?
