    Hi all, I have some old Toshiba Satellite P105 Laptop (S-6084). Upgrades, that I want to make:
    - change T2300E CPU to T7600/T7400/T7200
    - change 2GB of Ram to 4GB
    - change HDD to 720RPM
    - and finally I'm thinking to add discrete graphics, but I'm not sure wheter it's possible.Although there is space in laptop body, and I think I saw pci-e slot in motherboard when I was taking laptop apart, but can anyone confirm this (does Intel 945GM can be upgrade by dicrete graphics used in some other P105 models - Nvidia 7900GS)?

    Welcome to the forum!

    While the CPU/RAM/HDD upgrades should all be doable - presuming BIOS supports them - you might be better off putting that money aside and getting a new(er) machine altogether. The platform in question is getting quite long in the tooth.

    My $0.02 only...

    Yeah, I'd avoid a 720 rpm drive too. It would be verrrrrry slow.

    Honestly not worth upgrading this laptop.. it's beyond obsolete.. Save your money and get a new laptop..
