1. Your chosen graphics mode is too low color depth for wallpaper setting.
2. Edit your bootloader config file and add the number
2
to your "append" statement. This will tell DSL to boot into runlevel 2 which is command line text interface
3. DMA is probably not enabled for your hard drive. Try opening a terminal window and type:
sudo su
hdparm -d 1 /dev/hda
and see if your computer loading/disk access is better.
If so, add the "dma" word to your append statement, or add the
hdparm -d 1 /dev/hda
to your /opt/bootlocal.sh file.
4. Yes. The new processor will help, but the extra 16MB of RAM will do wonders for your performance. Also, make sure that you create a swap partition or swap file on your hard drive. Finally, I recommend adding the minimal parameter to your append statement or better yet, add the parameters listed at the bottom of this wiki page:

to reduce OS memory usage.
