Ram is a great place to start. Stick as much quality ram as you can afford in there. (192 is 128 stick + 64 stick, btw). Otherwise it seems like what you've got should be perfectly usable for your needs. You can probably do much more than you think with you hardware.

Get a good, fast, external harddrive. Likely, the reason Audacity was so slow is because laptop harddrives tend to be pretty slow (4800rpm, aren't they?).

The toneport should be fine for guitar (never tried one) but you'll still need to address the mic input. There are a number of inexpensive external soundcards that should work fine.

Have fun!
