Gonna keep this brief as im heading out but basically you are stuck with your graphics card which is not changeable.
As for memory you can go for any at all. It's more quantity than brand with a laptop as you'll not be doing any overclocking.
If you really really wanted you could swap out your processor but the chip you have is more than sufficient.
Finally at a cost you could drop in a faster and larger 7200rpm hard-drive which will give a small performance boost depending on the laptops use.
As a free upgrade make sure you keep all your drivers up to date using great programs like Patje's mod tool or the Omega drivers (amongst others).

Hope that helps.

Ditto the deal on the graphic - no go...

I like and use Crucial memory (lifetime warranty too) - good pricing from the company directly and sometimes you can find it for a bit less from a company like Newegg or MacMall.
