    Ok, so I finally decided to upgrade the CPU on my laptop. In the meantime, I decided to upgrade CPU on my backup laptop as well. It's a Sony VGN-N110G (currently Intel T1350). Given everything I'd learned in researching the first upgrade, I decided upon the Intel T2130. That jumped me up to a dual core AND gave me virtualization (my primary reason for the upgrade). Before I took the Sony apart, I decided to update everything on it and I noticed it only had 1.5 gig RAM. I looked up the specs on my laptop and it said the max ram was 2. Unfortunately, without opening up the laptop, I'm not sure of the motherboard (CPU-Z just says SONY). I've seen this same CPU with 4. Will I be able to upgrade the RAM to 4 with the new CPU? Or, is that motherboard-dependent? Or both? Oh yeah, 32bit Vista. I already bought the T2130, but it was CHEAP.

    I got so many bad answers when I was trying to upgrade my everyday laptop. I hope I have better luck this time. I just realized I may be able to use the RAM in my main laptop to test this out. But, I'd still love some input so that I can understand this all better.
