My Mom has an older Dell latitude CP, who supposedly has a memory maximum of
128. It is very slow at this processing speed. Is there a way to bypass
the 128 maximum? Or a way to use a jump drive etc to increase virtual
memory via disk mode? How would one go about doing that? Is there a
program or can I just use the control panel and the system panel ?

Thanks!

The CP has a maximum of 128MB RAM, as you indicate. This cannot be
expanded. With a jump drive you can have additional storage space, but
this is not RAM and will not make the system any faster.

For "best" performance out of this machine (bear in mind it will never
be stellar) go back to the original operating system, which I believe
was Windows 98, and remove all unwanted software.

Isn't there a way to increase virtual memory by tricking the system into
viewing Hard drive space as memory'? And a jump drive is certainly fast
enough...

You can increase the size of the swap file (or paging file), but it
may not make a difference. You cannot put the swap file on a removable
drive. (you can with Vista, but your laptop isn't even remotely
capable of running Vista)
