    1.) Where can I buy the Sony VAIO SZ Premium models? I can't find them at SonyStyle.com

    2.) Do any of the SZ models come with gigabit ethernet?

    3.) Will the 7400 card in the VAIO SZ be able to play Counter Strike Source smoothly?

    4.) Can I put a Merom processor in the VAIO SZ?

    5.) Will the VAIO SZ be able to run Windows Vista with the Aero features and all of that?

    Thanks in advance.

    1) call Sony outlets if youre lucky to still get it.
    2) no
    3) It should get it with 2gb of memory
    4) its been done, but not supported yet,
    5) yes, but beta2 still has issues.

    I dont know. Its a good model, but it was more exspensive and that might have been the reason why.
