Upgrade your memory, get a bigger and faster HDD and upgrade your processor, if possible. Vista is very demanding...

I might add, do it in that order. Upgrading your memory is most important - that's where the vast majority of your speed improvement will come from.

would an external hard drive help? or does it have to be an internal?

Memory is the main factor here. If you can upgrade to at least 2GB. If that's not an option you could try using ReadyBoost, I've read that it is more effective when you have little memory.
No external HD does not help much.
