    It has the Intel GS45 chipset, so you should be able to upgrade it to 8GB's of ram.

    A new HDD wouldn't hurt to speed things up. I've heard the WD Scorpio Black drives are pretty good. Check Newegg.

    Is this the model?

    See:
    Dell 1110-6835 Inspiron 11z

    (See specifications tab at link above...).


    The RAM and HDD would be the only thing you could upgrade, but for this specific model (1.3GHz celeron...) I would not recommend above 4GB, nor Win7x64 (vs. Win7x86).

    For the RAM 2 modules of:

    See:
    Corsair 2GB PC3-10600 DDR3 1333MHz SODIMM at Memory Express Computers


    For the HDD:

    See:
    Western Digital 750GB Scorpio Black 7200rpm SATA II w/ 16MB Cache at Memory Express Computers



    Note; you don't have to buy from the store I've linked to... just get the part numbers and find them at your favorite online or local store.

    Good luck.
