There's an old acronym "KISS" which stands for "Keep it simple stupid".

Unless you like to spend your time messing around trying to get things
to run instead of using them, then KISS.

1) make sure that you have enough memory.  More memory can often speed
   things up more than a faster chip.  16MB is very minimal, 32 is
   recommended most of today's office type applications.  Much more may
   be needed if you're graphics intensive stuff.
2) For now, if you want more speed with minimal cost, go with the 
   overdrive.  You'll get a little bit more speed -- but it won't 
   blow your socks off!   It's as simple as can be to install and
   you won't have problems.
3) Otherwise, wait a while and buy a whole new computer the way you
   want it.

Unless, of course, you just need a challenge and have time to waste.
