    Hai ….
    I am having some problems with my vaio//FS215z ... Please help...
    1) My battery takes almost 7~8 hours for fully recharge .. is it usual.
    2) When maximizing visualization when playing MP3 in windows media player the sound jitters…. (went back to pcworld checked a couple of vaios all have the same problem… try u r s as well…)
    3) Very poor results when coping files…(in the sense programs run extremely slow while coping files…)
    4) Can I upgrade my ram to PC 3200 series with 400 MHz.. Mine is the 2x256 //2700 Sony OEM…
    5) Poor 3DMark score (900)...How can I improve?


    NB: All drivers are up-to-date (from Sony website)
    Tried Restoring the system using recovery utility
    Tried fresh install XP (pro)…
    Tried Un-instating unused programs..
    Defragmented the drives.
    Contacted Sony ( told it is normal to have these problems… when argued it is not normal and my old Acer(291LMi) doesn’t have these problems they told they will report it to there engineers …2 months gone no word…)


    My specs:
    VAIO 215Z 1.73 GHz
    2200 BG wireless
    100GB HDD (toshiba MK1031)
    NVIDIA 6200
    512 MB// 2700 Ram
    OS Win XP Home (SP2)

    Regards
    Arun
