Some euestions before I order a Sony Vaio FW

Ok i'm about to order a Sony Vaio VGNFW35X. Here's the specs :-

Your configuration
Processor: Intel® Core(TM)2 Duo 2.66 GHz
Hard drive: 320 GB Serial ATA (5400 rpm)
Memory: 4 GB 800MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Optical Drive: Blu-ray Disc(TM) Combo-drive
Display: 16.4" LCD, 1600 x 900 webcam
Graphics: ATI MobilityRadeonHD3650 512MB
Operating system: Vista® Home Premium - (64 bit)

Will I be able to change the hard drive to a 7200rpm sold at OCUK and if so will the 7200rpm be much more noisier?

Will I void the warranty chnaging the Hard Drive?

Will a HD3650 run WoW and CS:Source at 1600x900 at a smooth FPS?

Will 4gb be enough for vista64 and gaming?

Thanks.

yeah you can change the hdd, no it wont be much louder, although the seek with be audible, no it wont void the warrenty.

How noise is subjective but how much more noticable is it? I'm very sensitive to noise.

Also how thick is a VAIO FW and is it light and easy to carry?

as for weight, its on the website - 3.1kg. its a 16" laptop so its not the smallest, but no they arent hard to carry at all imo, but nothing like the ease of say..a samsung NC10

Thanks james. I can't find any dimensions for the laptop though. How thick is it?
