    Hi all - I just got a Vaio NR 240E with a GL960 chipset. after research it seems as I can replace my pentium dual-core with a core 2 duo. I have heard that the chipset will support it, but, the bios may not..

    Has anyone with a vaio tried a similar upgrade? will the bios support the 800mhz FSB of a core 2 duo?
