It will cost about £150 for very very little gain.<BR /><BR />Your original processor is the 2.0 GHz Intel Pentium M Processor 760 which uses the Intel 479 pin socket. The fastest processor that will fit into this socket is the 2.266 GHz Intel Pentium M Processor 780 which has the same 533 MT/s L2 Cache and the same 2040 KiB FSB Speed.<BR /><BR />Although Intel's Core Processors also use a 479 pin socket (Socket M), it is a different pinout and Core processors will not fit in your Vaio.<BR />Similarly Intel's Pentium 4 processors cannot be fitted as they use the 478 pin socket.<BR /><BR /> <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.ba/html/@8A5BDCECEE2E5AB683F2BDAA500F2036/images/smilies/035.png" alt=":slight_frown:" title=":slight_frown:" /><BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 24 Apr 2008 23:40:43 GMT Blencogo 2008-04-24T23:40:43Z replacing cpu https://community.sony.ba/t5/pcs-accessories/replacing-cpu/m-p/36773#M62266 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>was just wondering if any one could give me some advice maybe steps to replace my cpu on a sony viao a617s cant find much info would be a real help<BR />thanks<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 24 Apr 2008 21:33:49 GMT https://community.sony.ba/t5/pcs-accessories/replacing-cpu/m-p/36773#M62266 wkdlads 2008-04-24T21:33:49Z Re: replacing cpu https://community.sony.ba/t5/pcs-accessories/replacing-cpu/m-p/36776#M62267 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi wkdlads and welcome to Club Vaio.<BR /><BR />I don't think you will find this worthwhile.
