Hello All,
If you have been monitoring the Yahoo forum you know that the last couple of days have been very busy. Hot topics have been new Bioses, AGP support under WinXP, and Battery acquisition. I have also created a comparison table for the various AMD based Sony Vaio laptops.
In less than a week we have gone from having two (2) Bioses available;
To having four (4) Bioses available;
For info on what bios to use and what issues the various Bioses resolve or create follow this link;
One of the problems that multiple people have been trying to resolve is the issue of full AGP support under WinXP. This issues can finally be resolved through a Bios update. See the Bios link above for a full discussion of the various bioses now available for our laptops. The solution to the AGP support problem is updating to the WXP01K5 bios.
I have successfully petitioned Sony for yet another replacement battery for my FX210 laptop. I now have 3 batteries.
For a synopsis on the battery issue with Sony and how I managed to get a third battery follow this link and scroll down. The procedure on how I got the third battery is towards the bottom...
I have created a comparison table comparing the various AMD based Vaio Laptops available from Sony. The models available include the following;
Here is a link to the comparison table I have created.
As always be careful updating drivers or flashing bioses. Happy computing
Till next time,
Brad
