Hi:

 

You can upgrade to 2 x 4 GB of DDR2-5300 or DDR2-6400 memory.

 

The memory will be very expensive.

 

I have 8 GB in a HP 6910p which is the lightweight 14.1" display version of yours.

 

You cannot upgrade the processor to any 1st gen core processor, or any processor having more than an 800 MHz FSB.

 

Chapter 1 of the service manual has the list of supported processors, and those are the only ones that would work.

Graphics:  The service manual indicates the graphics card is removable, but I have no idea if there are alternatives you can replace it with.
