No sorry the only thing upgradable on a laptop is ram and CD drive or DVD drives which ever it has. If the Laptop has a upgrade memory slot (small square panel on back of unit)
as all computers are set for MEMORY limit is double the amount of its Original memory from factory. for instance if it has 1GB ram then its limit is 2GB total by adding 1GB ram to it. if its 2GB ram then only a 2GB limit etc. if you want to upgrade your video card because you want it to have more MEMORY then by upgrading the ram will help the video MEMORY as long as its a share Video memory in most cases it is. But if its dedicated Video then the extra ram wont help it. But its likely shared like most all video cards are on PC.

The Maximum RAM for that Laptop is about 4GB, I'm not sure if it has an expansion bay/slot.
Hope that helps
