You won't be able to increase the CPU speed, so you'll have to do it by other methods, such as increasing the RAM or installing a 7200RPM notebook hard drive. How much RAM is in the system? You could do with 1GB really.

Have a nosey Here and buy some RAM from there (or the version from another country)

I recently got a 17 inch powerbook and its working out great for me. Just make sure you have at least 1 Gig of Ram, otherwise you wont see the real performance of the laptop.
