    :(
    I got a fujitsu-siemens with CeleronD,256mb DDR and Intel(r)extreme graphics>
    I would like to upgrade the graphics and the memory but to what?
    I would think another 256mb would do but what about the graphics and what about compatability?

    We'll need a bit more info (model number/name of your pc) to be sure but as long as it has a AGP slot you will be laughing. You might also need it to make sure your memory matches the existing stuff you have.

    What are you upgrading for? Games? And also, what is your budget?

    Assuming you are upgrading for games, that processor will be a thorn in your side, its probably the worst mainstream processor for gaming atm. As for memory, 512 is the bare minimum for games, it will do you, but gameplay would be a lot smoother with a gig or more. Graphics depends on your budget, for around 200 euro you can get a 6600GT which is acclaimed as the best value/performance AGP card atm, for about 120 euro you could get a 9600XT, which is good, but probably wont be able to run newer games well. If you want to go for a highend card like the 6800GT/Ultra or Radeon X800XT/X850XT, youre looking at ~600 euro.
