It has the same power/thermal requirements as the E6400 installed in the XL302 so I can use the existing heatsink, but has 4mb instead of 2Mb cache which does make a difference on apps and HD playback on other systems I've used.<BR /><BR />Thanks in advance!<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 09 Dec 2007 22:15:44 GMT https://community.sony.de/t5/pcs-accessories/xl3-support-for-the-core-duo-e6420-cpu/m-p/93637#M19257 GavMack 2007-12-09T22:15:44Z Re: XL3 support for the Core Duo E6420 CPU https://community.sony.de/t5/pcs-accessories/xl3-support-for-the-core-duo-e6420-cpu/m-p/93638#M19258 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>If you're considering to replace the CPU, I'd get an E6700 to compensate the slow performance of the 7600GTL graphics card for HD content.<BR /><BR />I'd like to get more informations (besides what PC Wizard tells me) about the mainboard and BIOS too.<BR />Do you think Sony support might help?<BR /><BR />Regards,<BR />Frank<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 17 Dec 2007 19:45:43 GMT https://community.sony.de/t5/pcs-accessories/xl3-support-for-the-core-duo-e6420-cpu/m-p/93638#M19258 FHB 2007-12-17T19:45:43Z
