I would like to know what can be upgraded for Inspiron 8600?

Can I upgrade the RAM myself if I chose to have 256MB (1x256) DDR Memory PC2700 SDRAM. There is only 2 slots for RAM right?

Can the Wireless Solution be upgraded? Can I buy a Wireless G PCMCIA card to upgrade it?

Can the graphics card be upgraded?
