Upgrading to a 7200 rpm drive will make a difference, especially when copying and moving files, accessing large files and when the system makes use of the pagefile. As for the Video card you won't notice much of any difference unless you do gaming, watch/edit video clips, or work with graphics programs like CAD/CAM software or publishing/pre-print software. If you do use these types of programs instead of going for a 64MB card you may as well up it to a 128MB card, there is not much price difference between the two, even a 256MB card is not much all that expensive nowadays. Without knowing what you do with the computer it is difficult to suggest anything concrete that you should do to improve performance. Keep the machine lean! Don't have unnecessary programs and services running for nothing in the background.

How will Windows 2000 run on a computer with those specs. It also has a 5400 rpm hard drive. Would upgrading the hard drive to a 7200 rpm produce a noticeable improvement in performance? It also has a 32MB video card. Would upping the video to a 64MB improve performance? Right now it's running XP but it is very slow opening programs but, once opened, they run fine. I cannot add RAM to the machine.
Thanks!
