Default new mem/upgrades: how do i upgrade my T42

Hello all~

I own a IBM T-42, and i would like to upgrade it as much as i can for gaming and general memory purposes. Its current specs are as follows:


IBM ThinkPad T42
Hardware

Intel Pentium M Processor 745 at 1.8 GHz
512MB RAM
80GB internal hard drive
14.1" SXGA+ (1400x1050) TFT display
64MB ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 video chipse

.. for the most part

I would like to upgrade the video memory, and RAM. My price range is no more than about 500 bucks (although i expect it to cost less). I am concerned mostly with the most bang for my buck. Any other suggested upgrades?? Thanks all -Ben

you cant upgrade your video memory. but you can upgrade your main memory to 1 gb or more. check whereever you got it from and see whats the max it can take. then look at the bottom of the laptop and see if you can find the ram slots and see if 1 or 2 are being occupide then you can upgrade.
