I currently have a HP Pavillion dv9500 notebook PC laptop with:
AMD turion (tm) 64 x2 mobile technology tl-58 1.9 GHz processor
2 GB of RAM
32-bit operating system
NVDIA GeForce 7150M / nForce 630M video card
I'm trying to improve my computer's performace for the game world of warcraft, but i'm not sure on what to do. Any suggestions? And i will provide any extra information if neccessary; some help would be much appreciated!

There's not really anything you can do. I doubt a RAM upgrade will achieve anything. Build a cheap desktop?

You have a decent amount of RAM and that is all you can upgrade I'm afraid.

Games want high end graphics cards and you cannot change them in laptops.

You could try AMD Fusion
Quote:
Designed to help optimize your PC for smoother, more responsive game play in the latest PC games with the touch of a button, the AMD Fusion for Gaming utility helps achieve the performance edge previously only available to highly technical enthusiasts. It works by temporarily shutting down background processes and intensifying processor performance with AMD Boost. That means you can keep all the features of Microsoft® Windows Vista® ready for when you need them, but turn them off when you are ready to get down to serious business – gaming.1
