for like 250~300 dollars you can buy & build a new PC which will last 5+ years

Likely the best you can is up RAM to 4megs and ensure you don’t have lots of stuff running in the background. One other item which would also help is to install an SSD.
But as this system is quite elderly, is it really worth the expense? RAM maybe but no more than that in terms of hardware.
