You can upgrade your RAM to get extra performance. For example, if you have DDR2 800 MHz 2GB RAM, maybe you can upgrade it to 4GB and if your mainboard can support a higher speed RAM, consider upgrading it to a higher speed such as 1066 MHz or 1333 MHz.

2. Hard disk
You can also upgrade your hard disk. Most of the manufacturers allow you to do this and it's easy to install into your laptop. But, consider getting an external hard disk for that extra space.
