    Do all the Sony FW come with processers that have 1066mhz bus speed?
    Is there anyway to get the 512mb graphics card in the uk?
    And finally if i bought this laptop could i change the RAM from DDR2 to DDR3?

    thanks :p

    1. Yes, they all have 1066mhz FSB, and 800mhz ddr2 memory.
    2. No, but there is a new FW21 series in europe which should be in the uk next month. The FW21z in europe has 1 512mb GDDR3 ATI 3650 (The current uk card is 256mb GDDR2). The screen for the FW21Z is also likely to be higher res @1920x1080, which may be too small for some users!
    3. I don't think the pins are the same.
