No graphics upgrade bar loads more ram, cpu might be slightly upgradeable with another mobile processor.
My Centrino Duo notebook came standard with dual core 1.83mhz cpu, 512mb ram and slow fujitsu 4200 rpm drive.
Its now running 2gb and a 120gb Hitachi 7k200 drive (not long released and is the quickest 2.5 drive around at the moment) and is easily running vista 64bit business.

the cpu is a 1.6 T2330 if that helps

Make sure it's got at least a 5200rpm hard-disk, 4200rpm disks are painfully slow!
Maxing out the ram and sticking the fastest (compatible) core2 CPU in would be the other options to get some extra speed.

If it uses integrated graphics you wont have the choice of a GPU upgrade.
