I'm new to this so I don't know what to do. I want to upgrade from 2.20 Ghz to around 3 or so, and increase my ram to 4 Gigs. Graphics card is optional. Here is what I have

CPU: AMD V120 Processor
GPU: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250
RAM: 2 Gigs (1.75 usable.)

Hi there! Because your laptop's processor has a TDP of 25W, you have to upgrade to a processor with the same TDP. Currently the fastest S1G4 socket processor with a TDP of 25W is the AMD Phenom II P960. It is a 1.8GHz quad core. You can buy them off ebay:

For RAM, just pop a 4GB stick in (or if both slots are filled just replace one with the 4GB stick). This will give you either 5GB or 6GB depending whether your laptop has a 2x1GB or 1x2GB setup.
