    I would like to upgrade my Viao's CPU to something over 2.4GHz, can this be done? Also I would like to update my graphics card to a Nvidia Geforce 7800 graphics card or better, Again can this be done? Where could I look for products that I have listed? I live in the UK so UK based shops would benifit me the most.

    Edit: I've just descovered that I need 2GB RAM aswell

    Thanks for your time

    You cannot upgrade the GPU, and honestly it is not worth upgrading the CPU either.

    Assuming you want a little extra performance, you might want to invest in more RAM or a faster HDD. That will do more than a CPU upgrade.

    Then I guess it's time for a new laptop.
