You can't change a lot of things in a laptop. Here are the things you CAN'T change: Processor, graphics card, motherboard, and I also think you can't upgrade the sound card.

What you can upgrade is the harddrive and ram. There might be more but these are mostly the basic ones for laptops.

So after all this I you should upgrade your harddrive and your ram to 1GB.

Hope this helps

Correction to not being able to upgrade the proc and the GPU and the Mobo. Its possible., people have done it, you just need to find a mobo with the ight size specs and you could o a little modding, but if your not up to that then look to upgrade your ram to somewere over 512 mb and look for a bigger and fasterr HD, Since the laptop is and older model is probly going to be a IDE drive and not a SATA.
