HI,
I believe your notebook has built in graphics so an upgrade to the Video card is limited to the drivers.
I need to know the exact model number of your laptop.
HP list several for the DV2700:

HI,
I am not sure what version you have for the Graphics Driver, but here is a link for HP:

As far as other upgrades you may beable to install up to 4GB of Ram Max. The service manual also gives you options for your Intel Processor:

Hope this helps.
