Does not look like you are going to be able to change the processor. Limitations to the motherboard. But it does have onboard video. If you get a low profile graphics card and have it added to the computer, that might work. But becuase the computer is an older comptuer, you may not be able to put in the latest and greatest. I would talk to a local tech to see what is available in your area for this computer.
