Hi !

 

I would like to know if there is a motherboard and a CPU that is compatible with a Sony Vaio VGN-N220E laptop, also i want the CPU to be a 64 bit not a 32 bit.

 

Can anyone please tell me,

Thanks.

 

 

 

(I know that the laptop is old and people will reply saying "buy a new laptop" , but still someone, please give me a correct answer )(please don't ask a question saying  why you want to upgrade it ? )

No, that's an ANCIENT laptop you just need to replace the thing at this point. Plus you can't just buy off the shelf parts for laptops except in very specific instances.

wanna fill us in in terms of why you're trying to upgrade this?

Because that laptop is 15 years old and isn't worth trying to upgrade.

The short answer to your original question is: there isn't one.


The long answer:

Spoiler

It's practically unheardof for laptops to have replaceable CPUs the way desktop motherboards do. I think they showed one on LTT recently, but it was notable because it's such a novelty. Every other laptop in history, pretty much, has the CPU soldered to the motherboard. Even desktop CPUs change sockets, so it's not like you'd be able to drop in a modern chip in a 15 year old machine without replacing the majority of the components. There is a point at which old hardware is simply no longer useful, and that laptop is way past it.

If you're planning to use it for actual work and not just a retro toy, you'd get better performance from even the cheapest, slowest new laptop you can find today. If you're on a really tight budget, look on eBay for something maybe 2-3 years old.

yeah no , 15 years is far too long ago to be doing that. Maybe with something from 8 years ago it could be possible but that thing is far too old to support modern software
