    I used to have a FE865, and I upgraded the hard drive and memory myself. It is not difficult - the memory panel cover is on the bottom, and the hard drive slot is on the left side. You will need to get a SATA hard drive, and the DDR2 SDRAM (533 Mhz) memory. The sony support website should have the specifications, and instructions.
    I believe the graphic card cannot be upgraded.
    Check the photos here to get a better idea:
