    You are able to upgrade parts of your computer without voiding anything, but they will not cover the new parts on the original ones.

    As for making it fast without adding ram or a high clocked CPU, have you deleted files you don't need, cleaned it with disk clean up (ccleaner is better, gets more stuff), defraged the drive?

    And also, kill some of your start up processes. I don't know which OS you are running, but go to run, type in msconfig, and choose the second to last tab, startup. There should be a list of everything that starts up with your computer, and most of them you don't need. Ex. AIM, iTunes, Quicktime, Adobe, firefox/IE, uncheck those types of things first. Also never uncheck anything that has system32 in it

    Try to optimize your computer

    1. delete all the junk file like temp , %temp% , prefetch.
    Start > run > type Temp > OK . Delete all the files ( same as %temp% , Prefetch )
    2. Run disk clean up.
    Start > program > Accessories > system tools > Disk clean up.
    3. Increase virtual memory.
    Go to my computer properties > Advance > Under Performance, click on the Settings button > Under Virtual Memory, click on the Change button > Here is where you decide the amount of Virtual Memory that you need to increase. Try playing around with a few hundred megabytes above the assigned amount.
