A lot depends upon whether this has the HM76 or HM86 chipset. The HM86 can support i3, i5, and i7 chips, but the socket may be a problem. As for memory, it should be able to support 4-16GB of RAM, depending upon the simms that you install. Go into the BIOS and list out the hardware/chipset specs here and we can probably tell you better how much you can enhance this system.
