I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 that I bought in December 2005, I got a smoking deal on it $850 plus a free printer.

It has:
Inspiron 6000, Intel Pentium M Processor 770 (2.13GHz/2MB Cache/533MHz FSB)
15.4 inch WUXGA LCD Panel
1GB, Shared DDR2,533MHZ 2 Dimm
128MB ATI Mobility Radeon X300 Video Card
60GB Ultra ATA 7200RPM Hard Drive

I'm wondering what my best upgrade options are.

I really want to know if anyone knows if I can upgrade my CPU to Core Duo or anything else and

Can I upgrade my GPU or is it integrated. I couldn't find anything specific through searching the internet. If I can upgrade can you suggest GPUs that would get me solid performace but not ultra high end. Any links to a walkthrough on how to do it would be helpful too.

I like to casual game but as the screen is WUXGA its 1920 x 1200 and my 128MB x300 can't do to well with that (it was the best graphics card Dell was offering for my configuration at the time)

Thanks for the help

No need to upgrade your CPU, the 770 pretty much is one of the higher end Dothan available and I really doubt that the motherboard would be compatible with a Yonah core.

According to This Page, the 6000d version with the X300 "may" be upgradeable if you can find a faster video card with a compatible form factor but this is very unlikely as the cooling systen may be bulkier.
