So, should I just grab a WD or Seagate HDD with the highest RPM and cache speed and slap her in there? Or is there more to it like our RAM situation? Hmmm.ĬPU: I would LOVE to through a new CPU in there but the issue is not knowing the mobo, so if anyone knows off the top of their head if a mobo can support a Intel Centrino, could it support a Pentium? Again, I could not find information regarding this.īattery: This whole electrical stuff goes way over my head.
Now I searched for articles regarding HDDs in old laptops but I found nothing relevant enough. I would like to fool around with it this laptop is my experimental laptop. HDD OR SSD: The next question is whether or not old mobos have the capability, or if an adapter exists, to run SSD. (Also the article says that DDR2 has a sweet spot for 2GB(1 x 2GB modules), is this correct or would I be better off with 4GB DDR2-XXX?) So, if you didn't understand my rabble or don't care too, basically I wanna know the best RAM configuration for DDR2. Now the article makes no mention to what ratio is needed for DDR2-1066 so the 5:4 ratio that was mentioned earlier was a complete guess! The 2 being the clock of the memory, and the 3 being the clock of the CPU, so in our instance Y:X. Thus you must have 2:3 for DDR2-800, for example. Now DDR2 memory has a clock rate Y a CPU will only allow certain ratios. My understanding of the article was that the CPU has a clock rate X, and that DDR2, standing for double data rate, carried out processes not only when the clock goes from high to low, but from low to high as well. So, could I potentially run DDR2-1066, with a 5:4 ratio, by down clocking my CPU to 1.35Ghz (if I did my math right), without melting anything? And even if I could do that, would it be any good?! So I know the CPU in this computer is a Intel Centrino clocked at 1.6Ghz. This leads me to my next question, per the article, you can only run a certain speed on the RAM if you mobo will support that ratio. I read specifically: http /Now, the part that is a little foggy to me is that DDR2 has a maximum clock rate of 800MHz, personally I thought it was 1066MHz. Now I surfed around on some old articles in (2005-2008) and found some pretty good information, but I'm not sure if it's totally up-to-date. RAM: I'm assuming I will have to use DDR2 RAM. Thus, I make assumptions based on how old it is.and I will start firing off questions.now! The only issue is, since I can't find any specifications about the Sony Vaio PCG-7N2L, I don't actually know what's inside of it. So, after trying to find a motherboard that fit the exact pin locations of the one I currently have in this laptop, I decided just to sit with what I have and try to push it as far as it can go.
