    You're looking for any flavor of PC5300 DDR2 RAM. I can't find a service manual for your particular machine, but chances are the RAM is under a flap on the underside of the machine... or under the keyboard.

    You will not be able to upgrade the Celeron M to a Pentium 4. For the most part, this would probably be a downgrade as well.
