It has the ATI Mobility 7500 which is know to fail under high demand (although I sometimes game on mine and its fine :) )

for specs I found*:

- Pentium M 1.4 GHz (Centrino processor)
- 512MB DDR333 RAM (CL2.5)
- 14.1" 1024x768 XGA screen
- Radeon 7500 Mobility graphics card with 32MB RAM
- 5400 RPM 30 GB Hard Drive
- Built in 802.11b Wi-Fi

I couldn't find the cpu socket so no idea about a upgrade?

*a review unit, may differ for other units
IBM Thinkpad A31 2.0GHz Pentium 4, 768MB RAM, 40GB HDD and a ATI 7500 16MB shimmed
Lenovo T420 4236-PA8: WiFi card replaced with a Broadcom one (fixes most DPC latency), 64GB Crucial M4 SSD added as OS drive, original HDD in a DVD to HDD caddy.
