    About 3 weeks ago, I bought the Vaio vpcee33el, after 1 week i upgrade the ram to 6GB and now i want upgrade the cpu.
    It has currently the following CPU description taken from Everest:


    I search in google and i found the amd antlhon II p340 has Socket S1 (S1g4).

    How can I get a list of all possible CPUs that would work on this? I want to upgrade the CPU.

    Seeking your help.

    Thanks :p

    Do you think the CPU is on a nice ZIF (zero insertion force) socket just waiting for you to take out the old one and pop in the new?

    Most laptop CPUs are ball grid array types, soldered into the motherboard. Changing them is not a trivial task. It needs specialised equipment and skilled operators. It is unlikely that the one you take out will survive, so selling it on eBay is an unlikely source of revenue to minimise the expense.

    My advice, stick to what you have unless the existing CPU dies and you have no other choice.
