    Hi everybody,
    I want to upgrade the CPU on my Vaio, I would like to exchange the actual CPU (i5, 430M, 2,26 GHz) with a quad core CPU. Can you help me with the right combination CPU/mobo please? The new generation of CPUs (FCPGA988) are compatible with the old mobo's (PGA988)?
    Thank you!

    Does your model have a discrete GPU?
