Ok so i have a Dell D600 is there any upgrades i can do to this computer. I am already getting more ram (upgrading from 512 to 1-2g not sure yet). I want to make this computer a close to decent gaming computer. So is there anything i can do to upgrade it.

If I remember correctly, the d600 is a laptop, right?

If so, then really the only upgrade you can do is memory.

Yeah as said before Ram is the only real upgrade, or course Hard drives and CPU's can also be upgraded in some cases. But the Ram will offer a significant performance increase.

what would happen if i upgrade the cpu and hardrive. How would that affect the performance of the laptop.

Hard drive not really, cpu is quite possible to give a small boost. Does your laptop contain a Pentium M 1.3 Ghz? Depending which voltage version it is, you could possibly upgrade to a Pentium M 1.7Ghz, but doing so your also causing alot more heat which is a big problem for notebooks. What games were you considering playing? With the Graphics card in your notebook 'ATi 9000' your pretty limited performance wise.
