Help - slow performance on a Toshiba laptop

[hank]

I am going to be putting slackware 9.1 on a amd 233 mhz 13 gig drive with 64
megs ram once I get the 13 gig hd put in. should I have to change anything
to get this thing up and running at max speed fore this slow of a machine?
I am currently on my windows box but plan on having this second machine as
my linux box
thanks
