    I want to upgrade my CPU on my Sony Vaio VGN-FZ260E. What is the max speed I can upgrade to?

    Current spec is T7250.

    Thanks for the help

    does it have the santa rosa chipset? (PM965)

    I think you can get a T9500 in there.

    yes both are socket P.

    But when you upgrade to the T9500 you are actually getting a penryn not a merom. Also it's 45nm so it runs cooler.

    The only reason it wouldn't work is if your BIOS didn't support it.
    That could be fixed with a BIOS update so make sure you have the latest BIOS before you upgrade.
