If it a PCG-FR215M or a PCG-K215M, then you have a ATI Radeon IGP345M. Which has no own VRAM. This graphics card is to slow for playing games.

If it a VGN-A215M then you a ATI mobility Radeon 9200. Which has 64 MB VRAM. That's enough for playing games. But it's not enough for the newest games.

I wouldn't upgrade the CPU. That wouldn't fix the problem. You would get only overheating problems.

Runs you VAIO with battery power?

I agree with Seb, the CPU can only do so much, the GPU is now just as important.
