You can get a faster RPM HDD to improve performance, but it also takes more from your battery life.

Upgrading RAM is pretty easy, jsut make sure it's the right speed and type. Some laptops are picky on brand but that's usually not a problem.

More often than not upgrading the graphics card is a possibility, but it has some rules to it. Certain cards don't work in certain laptops...and since every make/model laptop is different in size it's hard to determine hwat cards will/wont work.

for a laptop upgrading graphics card is a very difficult task. i dont no where you could get one for starters. the laptop will probably only have two ram slots so you will have to sell one or both of your sticks. i wouldnt go over a gig of ram though.

1. R the HDD in RAID config? check if the new one suppor it.

2. I dont think u will be able to upgrade the Graphicx card.

3. Memory upgrade is cheap n recommended. GO to crucial website to easily no the right parameter of the RAM ur system will need. BUy good quality RAM

if ur system has more than one HDD then it may be in RAID config for super faster DATA access like servers. Look into this matter b4 buying a new HDD.

check on ebay for laptop parts, they have tons of stuff. I've also seen some graphics cards on there, although there not really newer ones.

It is a Pentium 4 775 Processor running at 3.6 Ghz, 1 Gig(2X512mb), 120 Gig 7200RPM HD(2X60Gig Raid 0), 256MB ATI D900T video card, 17" SXGA screen + built-in web camera, and mic. DVD +/-RW, 8 channel 7.1 built in sound, with sub. 7in1 card slot, DVI, S-video in/out, CATV, 4USB, 2 Firewire, and a PS and parallel port, but who uses those anymore? XP home is installed, but I do have Pro, which I got for this computer, that I am willing to include for you to install yourself. Other software added: Alien Respawn, Office Pro, Norton Internet Security (Anti-virus, firewall, anti-spam, security controls, parental controls), Spysweeper, Ad-Aware, Guild Wars, Sid Meiers Pirates, SimCity 4 Deluxe, and a few other stuff. Accessories: shoulder case, and 2 back packs. They are all for 17" laptops, which I obviously wont need anymore. Extra Battery, External Floppy drive, Alienware mouse pad, wireless mouse, Targus Docking Station, laptop Cooling pad, and if you really want the Alienware T-Shirt that came with it, you can have it, but it has been used a lot more than the computer.
