Would replacing my laptops hard drive from a 5400rpm to a 7200rpm one increase the performance of playing some games?

my curent specs are 1.6GHz AMD Turion X2 TL-52, 60GB 5200rpm hard drive, 2GB (2×1GB) of 667MHz ram, ATI Radion X1150

i know that its not a gaming laptop but would changing the hdd increase performance?

Upgrading only the hard disk will help but not that much.
I suggest buying a good graphics card and increase your RAM to at least 4 GB

Updating the hard drive will make no difference. Not noticable anyway. Games are processor and memory hungry and that is where the upgrades are needed.
