Like Fryke said, erase and clean install. Does make a nice difference over upgrade or Archive. No eycandy stuff, no nifty utilities. Only the basics.

640MB is enough memory, but you will notice an improvement if you bumped it up to 1GB.

For Safari, disable the History and Cache, this will speed it up a bit.

For the Cache;

First, go to the Safari menu and empty the cache

Now open your home folder.
Open your library folder.
Open your Caches folder.
Get Info on the Safari Folder.
Expand the video for the Ownership and Permissions section.
For all of the users, select no access.
Close the info window
Close your finder windows.
Done.

For the History

In Safari, clear the History
Then
User>Library>Safari
Get Info on History.plist
Lock it.

I've been using both Safari and Mozilla Firebird, and they seem abotu the same to me.

Open Activity Monitor and see what's going on, and if there's something you can turn off.
