Depending on the type of computer you have, the answer is yes. Most computers will have room for expanding your memory. You can upgrade your hard drive. You can upgrade your processor. With laptops, not so much as with desktops. With laptops, you can pretty much replace your hard drive and your memory, but you cannot upgrade your processor on the laptop because they're part of the motherboard. On desktop computers, you can replace the motherboard, you can replace the processor, you can replace the hard drive, and you do have those PCI or AGP expansion slots that give you expandability also with additional cards.
