OK I have an old sony vaio laptop (PCG-FXA53) which is an american model. I would like to give it a performance boast as it currently has an AMD XP 1500+ CPU in it. However it is proving difficult to get any information on this chip i.e the socket arrangement. From what I can see (on ebay) alot of these chips are socket A, so maybe this one is also? I also dont know what the motherboard can handle, as sony do not provide any super technical information. Any advice would really be appreciated..
(Was hoping I could use one of the Sempron 2800+ Socket A chips, but probably wishfull thinking on my part)
