    The gtx 260m doesn't fit in that notebook. The 9500m GS fit, but its the same as 8600m gt. Every better card is too hot. Maybe some quadro will work.

    As for the cpu you can get ones with 800MHz FSB such as T7700, T9300, T9500, os maybe the X9000.

    If what the above poster said, you'd be better off just getting what you can out of the laptop, and saving your money towards your next laptop. The tech in that laptop is generations old, and you'd spend more money than it's worth IMHO.
