A 7200RPM HDD upgrade is the most noticeable speed improvement you could make.

HDD upgrade is indeed a great and still managable start.
CPU upgrade I would not recommend, can be that the mainboard/cooling cannot handle this --> damage to the mainboard, burning smell, unit shutting down etc...
In anyu case, be carefull with what you do since you in theory lose all warranty when you start opening the Vaio yourself...

thank you very much, i boughn a 7200 rpm hard disk but the problem is that i dont have the vaio launcher and all the utilities that i have with the hard drive that came with the vaio don't work on the 7200 rpm and i like these to keep working.

I am now using the 7200 rpm as an external hard drive i bought a ez upgrade kit for it...
