Laptop upgrade options

jeff lebowski · 2008-04-20 08:05:28

Hi, I have a Dell Inspiron 9300 and rather than change laptop altogether, I was wondering what upgrade options I would have to give it a bit more life. I have a 1.86Ghz Pentium M processor, 1 gig of RAM, Nvidia GeForce 6800 256MB, 80 Gig HD. Thanks

The easiest option would be the hard-drive and the memory.

CPU - most unlikely, though having said that, I did replace the CPU on an old Celeron laptop I had a few years back.

Graphics card - again, most unlikely. They are generally soldered onto the motherboard.
