Sony :: What Is The Highest Processor For VGN-FZ260E
Oct 8, 2009I want to upgrade my CPU on my Sony Vaio VGN-FZ260E. What is the max speed I can upgrade to?
Current spec is T7250.
I want to upgrade my CPU on my Sony Vaio VGN-FZ260E. What is the max speed I can upgrade to?
Current spec is T7250.
Can I replace the MXM-I card with the MXM-III card?
I want to buy a Sony VAIO VGN-FZ260E laptop which its graphic card Nvidia GeForce 8400M G (MXM-I or II) is damaged and I have already have the MXM-III GeForce Go 6800. So I wonder if I can replace them.
I did some research and find out the dimension of all the MXM card type:
MXM Type Width Length
MXM-I 70 mm 68mm
MXM-II 73 mm 78mm
MXM-III 82 mm 100 mm
MXM-IV 82 mm 115 mm
MXM-HE 82 mm 100 mm
I don't have any laptop with MXM card before, so I just wonder if I can replace the MXM-I or MXM-II with the MXM-III card (maybe the graphic card slot is available to replace?)
I am having trouble with my bluetooth adapter on my Vaio FZ260e. The hardware is not functioning, I goto device manager and it dosen't even read that it is installed. I know it used to be, because I have used it to transfer files between computers. When I check the specs for my computer , it reads that there is a bluetooth antenna installed.| Link for specs |. Does anybody know any possible fixes?
I have also tried reinstalling drivers, also not successful.
anyone knows if there is any limit for the capacity of HDD that can be inserted in a Dell Inspiron 1100?
I have a friend with such computer, 500K RAM and 40Gb HDD. I was planning to upgrade the RAM to 1Gb and change the HDD to a WD2500BEVE, that is 250Gb 5400rpm.
Anyone is aware of any problem I could have? Will that capacity be directly recognized and usable by the computer? Will I need to change also the BIOS? Will it be needed to partition the disk (I have the plan to do it anyway, but better if I have information in advance to size the partitions)
If there were any limitation in the HDD size, anyone knows which is it? I also have the opportunity of a similar disk but with only 160Gb.
I have a HP Pavilion dv6700t CTO Special Edition Notebook PC running Vista.  The laptop screen goes to 1280 x 800.  What is the highest resolution that the NVIDA GeForce 8400m GS will support on an external monitor?  There is an HDMI port on the  laptop.

In the past I have owned Sony Vaio desktops and I’m now looking at a Vaio laptop. I am currently looking at the VGN-NS235J/P. It can be found on the Sony site
as well as Amazon (pre-order only). (Sorry, not sure if I can post links here.)My question is regarding the processor. If I look at the Sony site it shows a thumbnail of the processor being a Centrino 2, but if I look at Amazon it shows it being a Pentium Dual-Core. It has been about five years since I bought a new computer so I am trying to figure out the details. From what I’ve read on the Intel site the Centrino is a much newer as well as bigger/better/faster processor. I am a PhotoShop junkie and need speed.
I currently have a TX2XP which I bought 3 years ago. It is now no longer able to handle the workload i place on it and freezes up and crashes regularly.
I am looking to get a TT11WN to replace it. However, I notice, despite the large price tag, it only has a processor of 1.2 Ghz. Can any owners comment on performance? Will I be able to multitask and switch between many open browser windows and applications seamlessly?
I notice that the processor in my tx2xp is also 1.2 ghz (pentium M), although with a lower FSB speed.
I got my VPCF119FX 2 days back. I found something odd in the dxdiag system info.processor name is appearing in a stupid manner. Could someone tell me if this is a problem
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just got a new sony vaio F-series with the new i7, it was really fast, took me about 2 minutes to get to startup screen and log in. But all of sudden after two weeks it started to slow down
( I didn't download much, and I scanned with both avg and adaware and no viruses or problems found).
Also, my gadgets instead of appearing on the sidebar like normal appear in the middle of the screen randomly.. I am extremely pissed because I have heard such good review
Does anyone know why the I7 is no longer available on the Z series? You can't option one with the I7 and
Sony Style said they have no information on when and if it will ever be available again
My model is Sony Vaio Z12GN and it's using Intel Core
My fiancee's is Sony Vaio Z26GN and it's using Intel Centrino
Is it any different?
Weird thing is that I did a fresh installation on both and even though mine is 2gb RAM and hers is 3gb RAM, mine still seems to run faster.
Are the components that come in a 2.26 ghz motherboard compatible with a 2.53 or 2.66 or higher ghz processor? I plan on ordering a Z590 as I fear the 690 will end up starting at a higher base price (ie like in Canada), and then upgrading it with a faster processor, more ram, etc. I just want to make sure I can do all of those things without issue.

3 - Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor P9700 (2.80GHz)
the 3 processors will give me enough power, but i travel a lot, and i care a lot about the batter life, so which one is better for the battery life on z series?
hardware configuration to get the longest possible battery life?
several people here who have been able to upgrade their SZ's to x9000 processors. I want to do the same but I want to know if it is as simple as putting the processor inn or do you have to do some modding. I am also interested in upgrading to a x7900 or t9500. Basically the x9000 is my first choice, x7900 is second and t9500 is 3rd and I want your advice as to what to do, and will I need to do any modding to put these processor in my SZ670?

The page says that it gets 4 hours on battery life is that true?
I had replaced mobo on my dead SZ 4 series (don't ask why) and couldn't stop there since I was in the move thus consequently contemplated about possible upgrades. For now I settled for fan, WLAN card and CPU upgrade. If it works well, I might install SSD also.
1.Fan Modification
As you all proud SZ owners know, fan is very noisy on this machines so it made me think if there is any possible modification to reduce the noise. Since the BIOS is controlling it there is not much to do on the RPM part (in win at least, but more on that later) I settled for a fan and fan casing swap from SZ 4 to SZ 7 series.
In the photos you can see that fans, fan casings and heat-sinks are of different design. Besides design differences, voltage and the amperage are the same, 5V-300mA.
Only way was to install the fan and the casing of the SZ 7 heat-sink to my old one as one of the heat-sinks bolt bushings is off for a few millimeters.
There has to be some care exercised when prying off the fan casing, some heating was required from the aluminium side on three pins were casing is attached.
Not to be simple, the difference is also in the inlet hole. One on the SZ 7 heat-sink is bigger and off centre compared to SZ 4s. Had to do some filing there, to match it to the size of the new fan. Fan of SZ7 is not bigger, it is due to different design of the fan eye and its volutes...................
are both 2.8 and 3.06 processors on the macbook pro 35W or is the 2.8 a 25W and if it is, how much more energy efficient is it?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm about to get an studio XPS 16 and have a couple of questions regarding the components. I'm debating between the core i7 1.6 GHz with 6mb cache and the core i7 1.73 GHz with 8mb cache (the difference would be $350).
Also I was wondering if there was a major difference between the WLED and RGBLED screens? Finally, how much ram memory should I get, 4gb or 6gb? I'm just surprised that going from 4 to 6 costs $300.
I'm trying to decide if I should get the t4200 or the p8600. Is there going to be any noticeable difference for normal usage? I don't plan on playing any games or anything. Is it worth the $175 upgrade? I'm going to use it for watching HD videos, music, etc.

The only difference is the P9600 uses less power and produces less heat, but I could not find anything on Apple.com that tells me what model the cpu is.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI've been stalking the XPS 1645/1647 for a while now hoping that the overheating/under clocking issues get resolved. I'm to the point now where I just need to roll the dice and make one of these work for me.
Currently I work off of a Mac Book Pro (latest unibody) with the 3.06 GHz processor upgrade and the 256 SSD upgrade and 4GB RAM. I do primarily web design (.NET, WordPress, etc.), so I stay in Windows (via Bootcamp) most of the time or work on my Sony Vaio Z. I was waiting for the Bootcamp upgrade to come out in hopes that it would help the hardware cope with Win7 better. Well, it came out a couple of days ago, and it did help, but it's still lacking in a few ways.
My question is around the processor. My everyday activities, making up 80% of my day, are fairly light with the exception of Adobe Creative Suite apps and Microsoft Visual Studio, but I do a decent amount of video processing. I am looking for the most power available without sacrificing battery life. If I understand the processor options correctly, that would be the i7-620M. How would that processor compare to the i5 540M in terms of speed and battery life? I have read that the i5 is "newer technology" and "should" be more efficient than the i7's.
I've read the threads on adding a copper pad with arctic silver in place of the junk stock thermal gum found in most laptops.
Is it possibly to lower the heatsink assembly instead of adding a shim? I feel that a CPU-arctic silver-heat pipe connection would be way better than a CPU-artic silver-shim-artic silver-heat pipe connection.
Also, is the 1mm rule a solid number or just a guesstimate? I've got a Studio 1737, Inspiron 9300, Vostro 1500, and Vostro A90 that all could benefit from this, I just don't want to mess it up.
Will the T7700 work? it's an 800 MHZ FSB so that won't work will it?

15.6in Widescreen Full High Definition (1920x1080) WLED with TrueLife
I wish I could afford both but i'm afraid it has to be one or the other.
Do you think a 2.0Ghz processor would be enough for general usage, some photoshop and 3d work, and some middle-ish demanding games.
Or would the 1080p screen be a benefit even though I will not be getting a blu-ray drive. I could always use a HDMI cable to connect to my TV though.
I own a studio xps1340 with intel (p8600) 2.4 core 2 duo.
I want to upgrade my processor but i dont know if there are any faster than
p9700 (2.8).... Whats the fastes processor with most cache available for xps 1340 motherboard?
I see the 1640 models have option for T9900 (3.0ghz) will this one fit my motherboard sockets or not?
