Is there any hope?

My friend has a pavillion notebook but can barley play generals. methinks it's his gfx. his specs:
2.4 wilimette celeron
256 ddr 333
radeon igp 340
dvd/cdrw combo
and a 40 gb hdd.
what would be the most important upgrade if for gaming? if not the video card, then surley bumping it up to a northwood, that would fix something, right? thanks

There is most likely nothing that can be done.

nope, IGP = Integrated Graphics = no slot for a card = SOL

uhh, i dont believe there is a 2.4ghz wilamette. that there is a northwood celeron as far as i know, still, celerons are pretty bad, however i used to game on a 2ghzzzz celly ;l. i think the guy above answered your question about upgrading lappy. sorry dude
