Quick question, I have an old ibook clamshell with panther on it. Currently it has its original 3 gb hard drive installed. Presently it's loud and cramped (less than 400mb free space) When I use the maching for casual web browsing, it's constantly telling me it's run out of free memory and slows way down. If I install a new 40 gb hard drive, will the virtual memory problems dissapear? Obviously I know the ibook is old and I'm not expecting a major difference, but it would be nice to know what to expect after the upgrade. Thanks :D

PS: the machine has 288 mb of RAM.
