I have won an acer travelmate 600 on ebay and i was wondering if the following can be removed and upgraded.

Pentium III 650MHz to pentium III 1GHz at the minimum

8mb ATI graphics to 64mb minimum of any type (AGP)

64mb SDR SODIMM to 256mb minimum

Dial up modem to wireless lan.

Yes and no, if you find out the fsb speed of the chip and get another with the same fsb then in theroy yes, however as it would be faster it produces more heat and the laptop might not be design to allow so much heat dispursing, also its a very tedious job when i did my lappy

8mb ATI graphics to 64mb minimum of any type (AGP)

No

64mb SDR SODIMM to 256mb minimum

Yes

Dial up modem to wireless lan

Not upgrade as the modem would still be there but if it has a cardbus slot or a usb pot then you could have wireless

ok 2 more questions. Would the 8mb graphics take memory from the ram and if i was to get a usb2 for the cardbus slot would it run as usb2 as the onboard is 1.1

Yeah the gfx would be taken from the Ram, im not sure about the usb/cardbus thing though

If it has a cardbus then you wouldnt need a usb port as you could use that (card bus slot) for the wireless card unless you have another idea?
