Laptops are very limited for user upgrade possibilities.
Usually you can only upgrade the memory and hard drive. After that you are talking about replacing the motherboard which in all honesty would be just as expensive if not more then buying a new laptop.
First suggestion I would give you is the memory. It is the single most update that will make the most difference in speed and performance of your laptop.
Go to HERE and run the Crucial online scanner.
This will give you the exact memory configuration for your system.
You do not have to buy the memory from there, but write down the information and if you need assistance in purchasing the upgrade memory GTG can assist with suggestions also.



Next I would look at upgrading the hard drive to at least 160 gigs but be warned the PATA style drives are older technology so the drives are more then the SATA ones.
Last make sure all your drivers are up to date as this can cause issues with game playing when you are using a older display driver.
