    There is no second bay. I doubt the CPU upgrade makes a huge difference unless you plan to do CPU intensive stuff all the time, I don't know maybe you do, and just so you know, upgrading your CPU will void your warranty. If you're going to spend the money to upgrade, get a SSD. You'll get better bang for your buck there.
