Hi,
You can upgrade the memory up to 4GB but can not upgrade the GPU, it's soldered on the motherboard.
As for the CPU, you can go up to T2600 or a T2700 but you may be able to use a core2 duo T5600 or a T7200 if you have a i943 or i945 chipset, you could find out the version of chipset by installing CPU-z program.
I would suggest you to replace the HDD with a SSD and that will be the better upgrade than others.

Are you sure?
I don't know so much about hardware compatibility but I have Intel 82801GHM and the Core2 Duo 7600 supports these
Has this something to do?
