Sony Vaio PCG FX804 CPU upgrades?

Comment:

Just bought a quite nice little Vaio, and wondered if it were possible to upgrade teh CPU, as they appear pretty cheap. It's running on a 1500XP-M Athlon currently, but I have no idea if it can go faster, the FX805 was a 1600+ model, but no others are listed for this series, so question is, if it's a standard XP-M athlon, what can I do? the M series go to about 2100 for thea CPU, be nice if I could get that much horse power from it. TIA Kevin

The AXP-M series goes a lot higher than 2100+. What you're gonna have to do is somehow determine which CPUs are supported by your laptop: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K7/TY... "And that's the fishing line, because Sharkboy said so!"

Ok thanks, but I'm not sure from that as to whether the motherboard can handle that kind of processor.... Kevin.
