old laptop, new project

I have recently aquired an older laptop, and would like help figuring out how to find the best hard drive/processor that will fit in this older notebook. It is a Compaq Presario 1277. Can anyone help?

 

Here is Everest, system info program, that will help identify the hardware/mobo/etc, that you have:

That may help determin what upgrades are possible.

 

didnt know laptop processors were actually sold w/o a laptop itself.
