My lab top is about 2 years old and it came with a standard ATI RADEON IGP 345M. I am trying to play 2007 EA SPORT GAMES. Ex. PGA 07', NBA Live 07, Madden 07. What is the best upgrade for this specific purpose. I'm not interested in other games. Just the sports. Do I need a high price one? What is best for my needs?

if you want to stick to the VAIO, which is admittedly a nice piece of HW, your best chance might be a docking station with PCI connector which may allow you to use an external video card.
there does not seem to be an original SONY docking station for your model, but you may get lucky elsewhere.
hardly more expensive maybe a cheap desktop with a decent video card, preferably PCI-E.

Yeah, you foolishly bought a laptop as a gaming machine and now you're stuck with your current spec. Laptops are *only* worthwhile if you really need to carry the thing around a lot, aside from that they're shitter than desktops in every single respect, including their upgradeability. Now you've got the thing, if you really need to upgrade it's gfx handling abilities, you have to throw that one away and buy a whole new machine.

You can't upgrade the graphics card in a laptop. You'll have to get a new laptop now if that's what you want I can help you. If you are looking to upgrade your current laptop, that just isn't possible.
