From the information available on the Sony eSupport web site for this discontinued model of Sony Vaio, it seems unlikely that it would have a pci express slot given the model dates back to around 2004 and may not have any free expansion card slots depending on the exact multimedia options that are installed.

I actually have the very same computer, PCV-RS720G, the best solution is to just upgrade the fan. The easiest thing to do is to take the fan out of the Vaio and bring it with you to Microcenter or whatever your local equivalent is and ask someone in the store for a compatable fan. Unless you feel comfortable ordering on line. I would suggest something with 3 speeds and 9 blades. Silicone pegs (instead of screws) would be a big plus.

Try this:
STEP 11
Lift up and remove notebook display panel.
STEP 12
Remove hard drive cover, memory cover and modem cover from the bottom of the notebook. Each cover is secured by one screw.
STEP 13
Here’s how you can remove the hard drive. Remove four screws securing the hard drive caddy to the base assembly. Slide the hard drive down to disconnect it from the motherboard. Lift up and remove the hard drive.
STEP 14
Removing memory modules (if needed). Carefully spread latches on both sides of the memory slot. The memory module will pop up at 30 degree angle. Pull the memory module from the slot by the edges.
Removing modem card (if needed). Remove two screws securing the modem card. Lift up the modem card to disconnect it from the motherboard and unplug cable from the side.
Hope this Helps
