Hello everyone,
I would like to upgrade the processor in my laptop to an i7. Last saturday I shoved 8GB of ddr3 in it to help with virtual machines but it wont cut the cheese.
Specifics:
Make: Sony Vaio
Model: SVE151D11L
Processor: i3 2370m @2.4Ghz
Socket: 988B rPGA
Chipset: Intel Sandy Bridge Rev. 09
Southbridge: Intel HM76 Rev. 04
Bios: Insyde Corp.
Version: 0180E5
Date: 04/24/2012
If anyone could please help me. I believe I provided enough information about this laptop.
If I missed anything important just ask.
A list of compatible processors would be nice.
Done! Has been working perfectly for 3 weeks!

| The highest you could go and maintain the same TDP would be the Core i5-2540M. Anything i7 is going to be 10-20 watts higher on the TDP. Some laptops that are offered with a range of CPUs are able to accommodate CPUs with a higher TDP. That said, I don't see anything that suggests that your laptop was ever offered with anything in the i5/i7 family. The i5 is a safe bet in my opinion, but the i7 may not fly. |
