Find a local computer recycling center, drop off old laptop, then go buy a new laptop. Considering you going to be dumping atleast $150(screen and battery) and a few hrs of time, into fixing it. That old laptop isnt worth putting any money into. Any current $300 laptop is easily much faster.

I know that other ideas? i just want to see how fast it will go I have a procesor that fits here cpu speed is 2.13ghz how do you think put him or not?
 
Sure why not but that machine is pretty much used up, scrap it and use the parts towards something like a Dell Inspiron 9300 which still beats many of the Atom laptops that people cough up $300 these days.
