    I am thinking of buying the sony vaio FZ notebook with the t7250 processor. Would it be possible later to upgrade from the t7250 processor to the t9300 processor without changing the motherboard???
    Thx :confused:

    Both are Socket P they should be perfectly swappable... the fun part with Sony laptops is taking the damn thing apart... They dont just hand out the disassembly guides out like dell and hp do.

    I got confused because the specifications for the t9300 says that is used with a socket 478, and the t7259 says that is used with socket 479. Any wisdom on this matter?
