A 7200rpm drive will cook in there (and cook the machine with it). At most I'd put a 5400rpm in there, and that's not going to be a lot faster than the 4200rpm one it has. So unless you're going to spring for an SSD, I'd say it's going to be a lot of work for a relatively underwhelming improvement. Bumping the RAM makes a much bigger difference, which you already did.
